Laminate

Everybody is familiar with the Formica style laminate kitchen benchtops. It is the most commonly used benchtop material. Some people refer to it as high pressure laminate. These style of counter tops has come a long way since they were first developed in the 1950’s. There is now a huge choice of brands, colours, and finishes available from varying kitchen benchtop suppliers all over the USA.

 

Stainless Steel

A favourite for many a year in the commercial kitchen and is becoming popular in the home, these stainless steel bench tops will be the stuff of childhood memories for many. Tough, resilient and reliable, the stainless steel benchtop now comes in different finishes and textures you can even have various rolled edge finishes. Stainless Steel benchtops are also popular in the traditional pantry. See our Stainless Steel kitchen benchtop page.

 

Granite

Traditionally an expensive choice only for the most opulent of kitchens, however competition and finishing machinery have brought the cost down to the point where it is seen in mid-range kitchens now as the norm. Granite is an extremely hardwearing kitchen benchtop material, used in kitchen reface/refurbishment as well as a new kitchen option.

 

Marble

The best known of the marbles is probably Carrera, named after the town in Italy where it has been quarried for thousands of years. White with dark grey veining, it is a beautiful stone and suits both traditional and modern kitchen styles. This is a porous material and is favoured mainly these days by kitchen designers to be used in the bathroom areas for vanity units.

 

Engineered Stone

Engineered stone is usually made of a quartz and resin compound. These man-made stone compounds are the latest entry into the benchtop market. Formed under huge pressure they are very strong and provide a hard, attractive and durable work surface. Brands such as Caesarstone, Silestone and Stonex will be familiar to many. They are also about 1/3rd lighter in weight than granite.

 

Timber

Of all the more popular kitchen benchtop materials, timber is probably the least utilitarian. It can look particularly good in a period or country kitchen yet there are designers who create great effects in contemporary kitchens. The durability of wood is sometimes a problem as it tends to mark easily (use chopping boards) and also can crack in some cases, especially in dry environments.

 

Acrylic

There are other less niche market materials such as plastics/acrylics. This product can scratch but is easily repairable and the joins in the benchtop can almost be made invisible when installed correctly. This product is not cold to the touch like granite and comes in uniformed sheets giving an overall look of continuity of surface.
