Granite

Granite is so amazing, its been formed over the years and now is in my kitchen

We supply a range of worktops but our particular favourite is glass!

Star galaxy granite from india looks fab!

Granite is a great hard wearing product

we prefer granite as a material

I chose wood as a work top

Composite : Hard wearing , easy to clean, easy to repair

Corian can look amazing in the right kitchen.

I like granite.

Granite creates a stunning finish and has a huge amount of character and colour in each slab.

Got to be granite. My granite worktops are in over twenty years and they look as good as the day they were put in. Cheap worktops are a false economy.

Granite, quartz or marble depends on budget and your usability of kitchen.

Concrete is my favourite surface, extremely versatile

There are so many different timbers and finishes available to suite every style.

Composite will be the safest option !

Just talking about this exact preference today. I prefer wood because of the warmth and natural colour that wood can bring to any room.

Laminate tops give you a huge choice of colours and patterns at a really reasonable price , they are hard wearing and easy to look after - no maintenance required .

kitchen worktops is http://www.worktop-express.co.uk/ they have an excellent range at reasonable prices all quoted on the webpageshttps://youtu.be/-oTXCHnK-J8

Granite, I feel is the most hard wearing surface you can take things straight out of oven and put onto granite and it won't mark, but things like red wine can stain it if left on it over night as its porous.

Kitchen counter top completely depends on the ratio between m/s footage, light, and personal concept to flow throwout the kitchen.

Quartz is the most indestructible worktop material

Granite has more depth and character than quartz

I have white glacier 'Corian' and I use Corian for the majority of my projects, it has worn well over ten years (we haven't even had it buffed since it was laid). I love the invisible joins and the versatility of the material to create curved up-stands. I am not a fan of high gloss worktops, or cold stone tops which require alot of maintenance.

Marble, or Silestone are gorgeous options! We crafted this kitchen with a Silestone counter top! https://www.bathbespoke.co.uk/portfolio/shaker-kitchen-marble-flooring/

We have solid wood worktops in our showroom kitchen with black cabinetry. We also love concrete, but a lot of people are favouring quartz lately!

Natural stone, granite and timber are timeless worktop materials. Increasingly we are specifying Concrete or Stainless Steel worktops, which add material interest and texture to the Kitchen, whilst being durable and hard wearing. Here is one of our recent projects where a Concrete worktop was formed around a Bulthaup contemporary handle-less island unit. www.houzz.co.uk/projects/2593420/victorian-house-with-a-modern-twist-interior

Concrete give You options that no other material gives you. You're not limited with shape, colour, thickness

check out our HOUZZ portfolio to check out our previous works.

It has to be stainless steel which outlasts everything else; features integrated sinks and edges, including upstands; can be made in any shape or size, including single-piece L-shapes.

got a question about stainless steel worktops, do they leave fingerprints on them ?

Depending on how much grease is on your fingers, yes! This question is often asked and, of course, stainless steel will easily mark with finger prints, grease, hard water deposits etc. but this is merely superficial and can be wiped off easily - ideally the worktop should be regularly wiped with a microfibre cloth to PREVENT build-up over time. To some, this seems 'difficult', in which case, stainless steel worktops may not be appropriate. To those who know and appreciate the benefits of having stainless steel worktops, this is just an instinctive routine and helps to ensure tidiness in the kitchen. The fact is, those same marks and grime would exist on any worktop - it's just that you can seem them more easily on stainless steel and so you are more likely to remove them!

GC Anderson: I thought so, but that is not that big concern, Your worktops looks wonderfull

It surely must be the case that, for anyone looking to specify the most practical, versatile and durable worktop solution, stainless steel provides the only real option. But, so often, worktops are not chosen in this way. They are chosen according to fashions and trends and the reality is that often people like to change their kitchen (or home) each few years and so are not actually looking for something that will last so very long. In the domestic kitchen, hygiene and longevity may not be top of mind but they are still important considerations. Speaking of budgets, if you were to look, honestly, at the lifetime cost of worktops, stainless steel would have one of the lowest, lasting for 50 + years!

Ice-cracked glass worktop > Conventional worktops, but obviously, it depends on the style, I am keen to say that the modern is the most optimal for the kind below.

They're all fantastic!

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.

We got wooden floorboards..ex BBC flooring...from Lascos. stripped em..yacht varnished em.Job done and perfect.

have you checked the rang of worktops offered at House of Worktops?

Perhaps you can find some at good price, I am still wondering if I should go for wood worktops or Dekton. However, Dekton is just very expensive although it is very durable
