Which Kitchen Worktops Should You Choose?


Choosing how you want your new kitchen to look can be a lengthy task: choosing colours, finding a style and picking the right worktops all have to be decided. Fear not, this post will discuss the most common option available when choosing a material for your worktops, and kitchens Bangor may be the one for you. 

Granite


Popular for both modern and traditional kitchens, granite offers a quality aesthetic to the room. Available in a variety of colours and markings, making each of them unique. If you’re looking to add that shine and sparkle to your kitchen surfaces, granite may be the one for you to consider. 


Granite is scratch-proof, chip resistant and super durable, so great for busy families in and around your kitchen. As well as holding these properties, granite worktops are heat resistant, so fear not when you place those hot pans on your surfaces. 

Laminates

Consider the cheapest alternative to granite, laminate worktops will provide a good quality worktop choice. Laminate is very durable, so perfect for busy families using their kitchen on a daily basis. If you have young children, no need to worry about them causing a mess. This worktop surface is highly resistant to scratches, cracks and stains. If the surface does require a replacement, it is fairly cheap and won’t break the bank. 

Stainless Steel

Perhaps not to everyone's taste, but stainless steel has become a popular choice again after being thrown in as one of the latest kitchen trends. If you cook a lot in your home, stainless steel may be a good choice due to its being resistant to bacteria and germs, keeping surfaces clean and hygienic. 

Copper

Inviting a glow into your kitchen, copper creates a stunning warm aesthetic to the kitchen worktops. Traditionally used in restaurants, copper is naturally antibacterial, great for keeping your kitchen clean. No matter your kitchen size, copper is flexible to fit your space. If you want to bring a neutral warmth to your home, choosing copper worktops may be the top choice for you. 

Glass

Resistant up to 400 degrees, glass worktops are designed to be both durable and stylish in your home. Other properties of glass worktops include scratch and stain resistant, plus are easy to clean. Simply use a wet cloth or non-abrasive cleanser to clean any stubborn dirt. Another benefit to getting glass worktops in your kitchen is that they won’t hold any odours, so don’t worry about those lingering scents. 


Hopefully this post has offered you a selection of worktop materials to consider. It’s always best to see these in person, so popping over to a showroom will be a great idea for you to feel the quality and design range available of these.
