Kitchen Worktop

7 years ago

I am looking to replace the kitchen worktop and have seen Neolith (sintered stone) in a local showroom. Has anyone used this material, which it is claimed is pretty much indestructible, and what is your experience of it. I am currently waiting for a quote, so it could be completely out of the running due to price.

Hello,

As you will be aware, sintered materials are primarily used for kitchen worktops.

The huge advantage of this material in the kitchen environment compared to natural stones/ woods; is that the material is tougher and virtually non-porous making it very easy to clean whilst being highly hygienic. Most manufacturers of sintered worktops incorporate an antibacterial compound into the product, ensuring the longevity of the product, and its performance as a trusted surface to prepare meals.

It is a great product, and has been used in professional kitchens, and private homes.

It is a brilliant surface to work with, and maintains its original look overtime.

Ideal for creating a crisp clean look to any scheme.

Kind regards

Hi Jackie, we agree with the above comments. We have a Neolith worktop on display in our showroom at the moment. Its hugely popular, so many clients love the look of concrete and other natural stones that aren't hugely practical. Our current display worktop looks very similar to concrete, but is durable and prctical. Good luck!

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

Thank you all for your comments. I am starting from scratch. It is a galley kitchen but the width between the units on either side is wide (and there is an open breakfast room at the end). It is a very old cottage so don't really want grey. would make sure the floor was sealed (not glossy though). The hob is on the left and the sink on the right side so these piece of slate would be on either side of the galley. Currently it is all old oak as as much as I would love to keep it, it make the kitchen feel dark and it's in very poor condition. I will sell all this oak on ebay. Considered using some of it but don't think it's going to work as will be even more "patchy"

Can you have a deep alcove behind a kitchen worktop?

Amazing! Thank you 😁 We thought it may look odd but it is handy for clearing the worktop space! If we kept the wall cupboard in the alcove above it, I wonder if there is a pull out handle that would bring the contents down so you could access them. Or you know, there is a lot of space under the eaves for storage so if there was a tenant in future, they could store extra stuff in the cupboards and not in the units maybe.

That worktop is solid surface. No cleaning products will take that back to when you purchased it colour wise. Solid surface finishes work differently to laminate. You need to sand it back starting at 80 grit using a sander with a oscillating disc not by hand. Then work your way down from 80 to 120 to 240, 400, 500 and 600 if it isn’t changing colour. You need all the different grits to work it down. That’s the only chance you have of getting the colour back. You have around 5-6mm of thickness to work with and then you are back to chipboard.
