Wooden kitchen worktops Wooden kitchen worktops are ideal
for contemporary design. The notion that wooden kitchen worktops equals beech
has long gone. Current design has seen wooden worktops become increasingly
important. For timber correct installation is essential. A breathing
product, timber reacts to its surroundings and must be allowed to
move. Timber is very strong and must not be rigidly screwed down
as it has immense expansion powers. Wood will give great character
to your kitchen. If used for kitchen worktops it is however highly sustainable
to scratching and cutting. Hot pans will make their marks on it
and it can be unhygienic if used as a chopping block for meat but
it is the only surface that will not damage your knives.

Laminate Kitchen worktops
Laminate kitchen worktops have an in-built advantage
over other materials as it is inexpensive and easy to care for.
For years kitchens were fitted with laminate worktops which was selected
almost as an afterthought. The tone would be selected to blend with
the units without causing too much of a stir. In laminate the best
sellers are the granite effects.
Laminate kitchen worktops can do things natural materials cannot do such as offer
a wider range of colourways without knots or other imperfections
and offer many design innovations. Timber effects offer a smooth,
easy cleaned surface instead of a textured one which can trap dirt.
Gloss finishes show scuffmarks more readily than standard surfaces,
so do not suit every environment. There are matching splashbacks
available with some colourways which gives added depth to the room. Laminate can do things natural materials cannot do such as offer a
wider range of colourways in their simulations, remove or add knots
or other imperfections and offer many design innovations.
