No part of your kitchen is subjected every day to a use as intense as the countertop. That is why, on the one hand, it must be solid, suitable for daily use and easy to clean. However, on the other hand, the countertop is also one of the attributes of a kitchen that first catches the eye, so it has to be beautiful and beautify your kitchen.

Natural Stone Countertops

Natural stone is an elegant and genuine material and it is presented as a timeless element frequently used in kitchen planning.

Granite

Granite countertops are the most popular ones. Since they are water repellent, extremely hygienic and sturdy, you can enjoy them for a long time. The structure and color variations that originate naturally have a timeless beauty and make each countertop a unique piece. They can be combined very easily with other materials. They are offered and sold in many price classes depending on the origin and quality of the raw material.

Marble

Something less common are the marble countertops. This elegant material is less resistant to water, and therefore should not be installed in areas where it is in direct contact with water, as it could form unsightly stains.

Slate Countertops

This natural stone is rarely used on kitchen countertops. It is a versatile material, exclusive and preferred by experts. The impregnated natural slate is extremely impermeable and immune to most cleaning products. Its structure and its coloration in dark gray tones give a very elegant touch.

Artificial Stone and Mineral Composite Mineral Countertops

Whoever does not want to give up the aesthetic advantages of the natural stone and at the same time also wants a material for countertops that is resistant to pressure, heat, cuts and stains should opt for an artificial stone or composite mineral.

These are materials that are made by mixing ground natural stone and mixed with a binder, such as polyester resin, and its subsequent high pressure compression. Depending on the tastes of the consumer, dyes and shards of glass or mirror can also be added. Of course, a significant advantage over natural stone is that the structure, grain and color of the artificial stone countertops can be determined completely free when making the blends. Of course, a mineral compound countertop is not always much cheaper than a natural raw material.
