  1. There Are Many Choices Of Materials For Kitchen Worktops When you are renovating your kitchen, one of the most important items to consider is your worktops. Not only do they serve a very practical purpose, but they also take up a fair amount of space, and as such catch the eye. The issue that most people have when thinking about changing their worktops is simply that there are so many different choices that it can be hard to decide what is the best solution. Of course, the various alternatives come in at a variety of different price ranges and you obviously have to take your budget into account. Probably one of the cheapest answers is laminate. Laminate worktops are available in a range of colours, and the quality today is better than it used to be. However, when you need more than one sheet of laminate, which applies to most kitchens, the lines and joints can be prominent. Furthermore, laminate is prone to chips and scratches, so it will not last as long as some other materials. Some people like the look of natural wood, and there is a lot to be said for the warmth that it exudes. If you are going for wood, it needs to be hardwood such as oak, walnut, or iroko. It will require an initial programme of sealing in order to prevent water penetration and staining. Thereafter, you need to apply linseed oil once every three months. You must not put hot pans down on it because it will scorch, and equally you must not chop or cut foods on it.

  2. Another choice is stainless steel. This has the advantage that it is totally hygienic and is heat and stain resistant, which is ideal in a kitchen. It is also very long lasting. Stainless steel is used widely in the catering industry for these reasons. However, it is very clinical-looking and not what a lot of people would want in a home kitchen. Another choice for worktops is concrete. It is available in a range of standard concrete mix colours from white to grey but can also have other pigments mixed with it for stronger colours. However, it is porous and can stain easily so it has to be sealed, and it is also prone to scratching. In addition, it is very heavy, so the cabinets may need to be reinforced.
