- Stainless Steel: Metallic, sleek, modern and stain-free!
- Stone: A quartz-based engineered stone. Robust and easy to clean.
- Marble: An attractive and refined choice! However, its beauty comes at a price, and it requires more maintenance than most other selections.
- Solid Surface: A synthetic, acrylic alternative to stone and metal. Looks almost like the real thing. It is also customisable and can be repaired.
- Concrete: one of the most environmentally-friendly and durable countertops. Very strong and provides an industrial look that has gained popularity in recent years.
- Wood: A range of different woods are available for your countertop, including Oak and Walnut. Warm and hearty, but is very easily damaged!
Sinks
After your cooking comes washing! Here are some of the top choices for sinks:
- Integrated Sinks: These are built into the benchtop, usually an acrylic or similar material.
- Underbench Sink: Sits under the bench, creating a seamless look. This is reserved for stone and similar benchtops, but not laminate.
- Drop-in or Inset Sinks: The easiest, cheapest and most popular sink. Usually made from stainless steel and simply drops into a hole cut in the countertop. A good choice for a well-used and busy kitchen!
