Which surface is the best for your kitchen?
- The choices can be confusing –there’s so much available in
kitchen counters. From natural stone like granite and marble to
synthetics such as Formica, Ceramic tiles, Corian - even
environmentally damaging products like wood. So what should you
choose, and why?
Ideally, most people (naturally) want to coordinate their kitchen
counter top to the decor and color theme in their kitchen. In addition
to that, they’re probably looking at aesthetic appeal and cost. And
would normally like to get a durable surface with suitable edges, that
is easy to use and clean, has a smooth surface, is heat resistant,
water resistant, chemical resistant, won’t scratch, stain, chip or
crack, and last, but not least, is easily repaired . Taking each
option available on the market today, we can take a look to see if it
meets the criteria vital to the ideal counter top for your kitchen.
