Cleaning composite worktops is simple. Simply spritz some soap or cleaning solution on the surface and wipe away with a damp cloth. For limescale marks, you may want to use a special product. Rinse and dry.
Usage and Best Location: Thanks to their improved features, composite worktops are ideal for every nook and cranny in the kitchen.
Maintenance: Quartz is relatively maintenance-free. Corian countertops should be cleaned more often. Do ensure they are dry at all times.
Granite
Granite is an expensive material that creates a feeling of elegance and luxury. It has been used in building for many years and it will not likely go out of fashion any time soon. In fact, if you want to give the heart of your home a timeless appeal, granite kitchen worktop is what you need.
Usage and Best Location: So, granite belongs to the group of solid surface worktops and is quite durable. Thus, it can be a great addition to any kitchen, whether you are going for the floors, stair treads, or the worktops. Now, since we are on the topic of kitchen worktop, we ought to say granite can be used for food preparation. It’s resistant to scratches. If your hand slips while cutting onions and the knife brushes the surface, you can rest assured no damage will be done.
Being porous, granite should stay away from moisture. This means it’s a bad decision to pop granite worktops in the sink section. It is ideal to implement them in kitchen islands and other surfaces around the kitchen.
Maintenance: Granite can absorb liquids if they sit on it for too long due to its porous nature. For this reason, it requires sealing twice a year. Also, any spills should be removed instantaneously.
Marble
Marble is a natural stone obtained from limestone rock or sedimentary dolomite. Since it adds a luxurious touch to any place, you want a piece of it in your home. It’s bright and smooth, soothing to both the eyes and mind. The only trouble is that it’s porous. It’s only natural to be wondering whether it’s a good kitchen worktop option. The answer is both yes and no. It depends on what you want to use it for.
Marble kitchen worktops can be two types: honed and polished. Starting with honed marble, it has a matte finish achieved through sanding. This causes more pores to form on the surface. On the other hand, polished marble is a little bit more resistant to staining.
Usage and Best Location: Marble is best used on kitchen islands and around the stove. It’s a bad conductor of heat, which means it will stay cool no matter what. Because of this specific feature, a stone kitchen worktop is perfect for working dough, as the chances of overheating are slim to none.
Maintenance: The surface of this natural stone has pores and can let liquids seep in. Again, this is something you don’t want on your worktops, especially if you hope for them to hold up for years. To give marble the protection it needs, you have to use a sealing product every now and then. It is wise to consult a professional about it.
Dekton
Dekton countertops are new to the kitchen design world, but many homeowners have been delighted with them. The sintered stone countertops like Dekton are becoming very popular in Europe. Not only are they tremendously durable and heat-proof, but they’re also great for both indoor and outdoor settings.
Dekton is a sintered stone also known as an “ultra-compact surface” in the world of countertop materials in London. Dekton worktop is made from a combo of the same raw materials used to make quartz, glass, and porcelain countertops. But it's different from all three.
Usage and Best Location: Dekton is perfect for both indoor and outdoor applications. Dekton worktops can be installed as outdoor worktops. This is true even in freezing climates. Dekton worktops will not crack or fracture due to even the most frigid or hottest temperatures. Furthermore, they are UV resistant, which means their colors will not fade even when in constant exposure to the sun.
Maintenance: Due to the extreme durability and non-porosity of Dekton, general care and cleaning are relatively hassle-free. Still, here are some tips for the regular upkeep of your Dekton worktop.
Porcelain
Porcelain worktops are the new generation of kitchen worktops, leading the way with their design beauty, advanced qualities and sustainability.
Porcelain worktops are an engineered stone material, which is made up of natural and raw materials including kaolinite, silica, metal oxides and feldspar and treated to extremely high temperatures. This process creates a material that is dense, strong, durable and a high performing surface for a kitchen worktop.
Kitchen Renovation London Specialists are leaders in working with both engineered and natural stones, and porcelain is one of our specialties. Being an extremely strong material, porcelain requires specialised cutting and the latest technology and machinery to ensure the highest quality finish and design is achieved.
The range of porcelain designs available is both wide and diverse. From ultra modern patterns to solid and classic designs, there are a plethora of looks to choose from.
A durable surface is an important factor and porcelain ticks all the boxes with being a strong, hard wearing and scratch resistant surface. Porcelain is even heat-resistant to high temperatures making a great choice for a busy kitchen.
Usage and Best Location: Porcelain countertops are fantastic for outdoor kitchen areas. With high UV resistance, thermal shock resistance, porcelain material will not fade or damage from sunlight, changing temperatures or rain.
Maintenance: Porcelain worktops are dense and non-porous without any need for sealing, saving you time and worry. The surface does not absorb water or hold germs and bacteria and has a great level of resistance against stains.
