Generally it has to be Quartz, though we do love others, as sometimes they can give the right feel for the design you want. Different metals can look amazing and Quartz can't replicate these. We are just starting a project that has mainly Quartz but one side of the island will be copper . . . Can't wait to see the finished look

Zenith worktop. Pros and cons
Q
Comments (4)
We were thinking of going for zenith worktops but the negative reviews seemed to outweigh the positive ones - I would be interested to hear anyone's else views or personal experience though as we still really like the look and feel of it. The main issues I read about were from kitchen fitters with regards to getting good joins and difficulties in cutting it (getting a good finish on the edges, and cutting out for sinks).

What induction hob fits in 30mm worktop?

You have a few ways to get round this, I doubt diy kitchens would be able to do this for you but your fitter should be able to, but bearing in mind a lot of hobs now also specify the fitting of a heat resistant board and an air gap even 60mm might not be enough. the top cutlery drawer can be lowered by about 12-15mm and the drawer front repositioned is easy to do change the pan drawer to a 2 drawer with internal drawer, if diy kitchens use blum tandembox drawers, these pan drawers come in 2 heights and change the top pan drawer (type D 224mm) for the type C which has a lower back and gallery rail at 162mm, the internal drawer can then be lowered, you might have to source your own drawer boxes. change the drawer unit to a 1 pan and 3 cutlery drawer and dummy the top drawer if diy kitchens have 175 tall drawer fronts at 800 wide (doubt it) then have a 1 pan drawer at 355 tall and 2 cutlery drawers at 175 consider a 'true handleless' design which has a handle rail machined into the carcase of about 60mm so the drawers are well clear of the hob, don't believe diy kitchens offer 'true handleless' though. looking at your picture i'd also check that the extractor is going to fit in the gap between the wall units.

Durability of Metis Worktop

You could try and get a few samples and then test them with things that stain easily and also use them as trivets to see how they stand up to heat. You could try cleaning them too and see how easy it is. I don't know the product at all.
