Choosing a countertop for the kitchen

The most important place in the house is the kitchen. After all, it is here that sincere conversations are conducted and holidays are celebrated. Any hostess spends a lot of time here, cooking for the whole family, so the dream of any woman is a comfortable, cozy and beautiful kitchen, where it is pleasant to be and convenient to work.

An important element of this room is the countertop, which performs two significant functions. Firstly, the countertop is a work surface on which food is directly cooked, and all kinds of kitchen utensils are also placed. Secondly, the countertop should have a pleasant appearance and fit perfectly into the interior of the room. Thus, its aesthetic function is carried out.

Based on the functional value, countertops must meet certain requirements. They must be durable and wear-resistant, withstand changes in temperature, humidity and be resistant to mechanical damage, as well as easy to clean. In addition, countertops for the kitchen should look stylish and harmoniously combined with pieces of furniture.

Countertops are divided into several types depending on the material from which they are made.

Laminate. This material is widely used in the manufacture of kitchen countertops. Laminate can withstand high temperatures without changing its appearance. The layer of plastic on such a countertop is different. It should be remembered that the thicker it is, the stronger the product will be. The same rule applies to the appearance of the countertop. The thicker it is, the more luxurious and expensive it looks. Laminate countertops are durable, hygienic and very easy to clean. The color schemes of such products can be very diverse, manufacturers’ catalogs are simply full of options.

Wood. Wooden countertop is a classic that looks luxurious and is an environmentally friendly, natural material. The color of natural wood seems to breathe warmth, comfort and beauty. However, the manufacture of such a countertop is a rather laborious process. Thanks to special production technologies, wooden countertops will not warp or crack, but only if there is no high humidity in the room. In addition, they require special care. Wooden countertops are subject to mechanical stress.

A natural stone. Countertops made of natural stone are a gift from nature itself. Products are very beautiful, have a unique, inimitable pattern. Countertops made of natural stone are wear-resistant and durable, but they must be constantly monitored so that they retain their original appearance. If spilled tea, wine or dirt is not removed from the surface in a timely manner, a stain will remain that will hopelessly ruin an expensive thing.

Fake diamond. Such products made of the so-called artificial stone are durable and resistant to various negative influences. They are able to serve for many years, while maintaining a decent appearance. Countertops made of artificial stone can have different colors, which helps them to blend harmoniously with any interior.

Glass. Countertops made of frosted, transparent, tinted or painted glass are suitable for those who prefer a modern style — hi-tech or modern. Such products are distinguished by originality and a variety of patterns and colors, but their main advantage is heat resistance. But it should be remembered that such a countertop can crack if a heavy object is dropped on it.

Choosing the best countertop that suits you is not such a problem if you love your kitchen.

  3. Howdy this is somewhat of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG
    editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
    I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding experience so I wanted to get
    guidance from someone with experience. Any
    help would be greatly appreciated!
