What types of kitchen worktops are there?
With the range of materials on offer — from high-end marble worktops to granite kitchen worktops — there is a style and finish to suit every kitchen. Here are some options that may help to guide your choice:
Wood Countertops
Solid wood worktops are available in a wide range of patterns and tones, ranging from pale birch to rich oak. Wood is an eco-friendly choice and offers hygienic, anti-bacterial properties, and is easy to repair. Wood can scratch and mark more easily than other worktops, but can be treated by sanding and oiling to improve durability.Stainless Steel Kitchen Worktops
The classic chef's choice, stainless steel worktops are hygienic, waterproof and heat resistant. If you favour an industrial looking kitchen, stainless steel is the ideal choice and also a very affordable option in a range of polished or matte finishes. Stainless steel surfaces do scratch easily and can't be used for cutting, so adding a butcher's block is a great way to add texture and enhance the industrial theme.Laminate Kitchen Worktops
Laminate surfaces are inexpensive, available in a range of options, and easy to maintain. High quality laminate worktops will have greater durability and heat resistance, but still may be prone to scratching and chipping, which may not be easily repaired.Corian Worktops
Corian is a hard wearing surface made from a mix of acrylic and natural minerals. In over 100 colours, corian worktops boast an antibacterial, heat and stain resistant finish and a renewable quality that allows cuts and scratches to be sanded out. They are pricier however and may require professional installation and maintenance.Glass Worktops
Glass worktops can transform a kitchen into a sleek, modern space. As well as looking stylish, glass is easy to clean, waterproof, hygienic, scratch resistant and heat resistant. The surface can be cut for seam-free sink and hob installation, though do bear in mind that edges should be rounded for safety.Marble, Other Natural Stone and Granite Worktops
Granite, slate, soapstone, marble, limestone and quartz worktops all fall under this category. Long-lasting natural stone has an organic beauty that is available in glossy or matte finishes, with a cool solid surface perfect for rolling out pastry and dough. It is among the most hardwearing of surfaces, being very resistant to heat, stains and water damage. Natural stone does have a porous quality which requires sealing and maintenance to prevent stains.Lava Stone Kitchen Counters
Made from sheets of volcanic stone, the enamelling and firing process makes for a hardwearing, heat and stain-proof surface. The glossy finish is available in a wide range of glazed colours so is ideal for matching to existing kitchen decor or theme.Concrete Countertops
Surfaces created from concrete or cement have the ability to incorporate inlaid decorative details or useful implements like trivets. However, they’re prone to hairline cracks and are extremely heavy.Tiled Kitchen Worktops
Tiled surfaces come in an endless variety of styles and colours, are heat tolerant and durable, and can be very affordable depending on the chosen tiles. Porcelain tiles are the most hard-wearing surface, though porcelain and ceramic tiles can both be used to lend a traditional, rustic look to kitchens. Due to grout lines, they’re not as easy to keep clean as a single-sheet worktop, so dark tiles with matching grout may be a sensible solution.
