A lot of people choose a kitchen worktop based solely on the appearance of the worktop, without taking into the account the requirements of their kitchen. For instance, if you have children who are always slopping milk across the countertop or leaving behind big dollops of jam it’s best not to go for a white granite top as it will be very hard to maintain. If you are a passionate cooker and are required to move hot pans from the hob to oven, a solid worktop would be the best for you.

The colour and veins of a granite worktops are naturally beautiful and create a great aesthetic choice for the kitchen. It provides a kitchen with a kind of timeless beauty that works in any area of the kitchen. It is truly a classic material that is always in fashion and will always look great.

Wood provides a kitchen with traditional warmth and character. It is a fantastic choice for a countertop in kitchens where you enjoy coffee and gossip with the neighbours due to the natural ambience created by the wooden features. It is also fantastic for food preparation areas. We would personally recommend Iroko, walnut and oak as they are hardwoods that are more durable and will only continue to grow more beautiful over time.
