POLL: What's your kitchen worktop material?
Comments (127)Another vote for Dekton and Sileston Quartz worktops, use them all the time in our projects as so much more forgiving and low maintenance than granite or marble. Agree that Corian is a good option if you have a large island to prevent visible joins, whilst it has other benefits you do need to be very careful when it comes to heat. Vast range of colours and textures in all types nowadays so the type of material shouldn't limit the effect you want to achieve - be that traditional or contemporary. I am always a big advocate that a worktop is an investment, there is no point spending a large sum on a beautiful quality kitchen and then finishing it off with a worktop that won't stand up to time as well as the rest of the room or cheapen the look - I always recommend to go for the best you can afford....See MoreCorian up stands above kitchen worktops
Comments (6)There are so many factors involved. These include proximity to sink and hob that will generate greater dirt, maintaining symmetry etc. For a larger kitchen you could possibly get away with only having upstands to the rear, but if there is a sink/drainer in close proximity, I would still avoid. A 5 inch high upstand does seem quite high, but this is entirely down to personal choice....See MoreUrgent opinion required re hob position in worktop-continued
Comments (13)The fact is as you say, they are supposed to be the professionals and should think of these things. You are not alone, all too frequently I see rookie mistakes. It would appear that an awful lot of them just don't think! As they are going to do it again - I'd still ask if they can't centralise in the whole space of that wall. Presumably if the hob is over a drawer it can't be thicker than the work top or the drawer would not be of use. Thus you should be able to have the whole thing central to the whole wall not the cupboards below. Thus eradicating the pan problem. I know you can turn the handles to the right, but it doesn't solve the problem, it makes using the right hand rings harder and isn't ideal if you have children as the pan handles should be pushed right to the sides....See MoreMixed kitchen worktops in small(ish) kitchen
Comments (7)Thanks ‘Man about the house’, we hope to house the boiler, but as it’s non-standard size (it’s a commercial sized boiler) we are exploring doing a bespoke cabinet with a standard door but this depends on the cost! I like the idea of a light and airy kitchen - will definitely explore this. For cabinet doors, am now thinking perhaps f&b ammonite coloured doors but worried that grey won’t be in fashion in a few years so perhaps looking at colours that are more classical/light such as f&b old white or James white. Currently testing these colours on our kitchen wall! Will post pictures when am home....See More
