Worktops for the kitchen - laminate with a wood look
Real wood has a warm appearance and creates a homely atmosphere. However, real wood worktops are very sensitive to water, scratches and impacts and need regular impregnation and oiling. Natural stone countertops have many advantages, but they also require regular maintenance and are too expensive for some. For this reason, many people choose laminate and laminate worktops, which can deceptively imitate natural materials. These are easier to care for and cheaper. The only downside is that plastic countertops are sensitive to heat. Depending on your taste and kitchen design, there are over 150 different decors to choose from.
Kitchen countertops – artificial stone
Artificial stone has the cool aesthetics of natural stone and is at the same time pressure- and cut-resistant, heat-resistant and impervious to stains and scratches. Artificial stone and mineral material worktops consist of ground natural stone and binders that are mixed and pressed under high pressure. Quartz composites, for example, consist of 93 percent quartz, but are mixed with glass and mirror chips and bonded with acrylic resin to form a plate.
