A kitchen countertop is more than just a bench… it’s a gathering spot when there’s a delicious platter or bowl of chips on offer, where everyone puts their ‘stuff’ as they enter the kitchen (much to the chagrin of the one who’s just tidied up!), the place where meals are created, homework completed and to-do lists checked off.
When you think about it like this, your kitchen benchtop is highly functional and given its central location, a key part of the design aesthetic in your kitchen.
So both form and function play a part in your kitchen benchtop choices. Here’s our suggestions for choosing your new benchtop for your kitchen.
1. Benchtop Materials – review the options:
Laminate:
- Affordable and cost-effective
- Wide range of colours and patterns
- Easy to clean and maintain
- Resistant to stains and moisture
- Not sure if a benchtop is laminate or not? Feel underneath the edge of the countertop. If it’s a laminate benchtop you will feel where the laminate stops and touch the wood underneath
Timber:
- Natural and warm aesthetic
- Unique grain patterns for a personalised look
- Can be sanded and refinished
- Environmentally friendly when sourced responsibly
- Timber can age easily so you do need to be careful not to scratch your timber benchtop
Stainless Steel:
- Modern and sleek appearance
- Highly durable and resistant to heat and stains
- Hygienic and easy to clean
- Ideal for professional and contemporary kitchen designs
