RENEW YOUR WORKTOP AND BRING NEW LIFE TO YOUR KITCHEN

Recommendations to renew your kitchen countertop

The kitchen counter can help you make a difference in your home renovation. For that, you can change the type of material and color, as well as the style and finishes.

It is important that you take into account three key elements: appearance, maintenance and durability.

As specialists in natural and compact stone we can provide you with some recommendations:


GRANITE COUNTERTOPS

It is a classic in kitchens. Who hasn't had a granite countertop in their kitchen? Whenever our clients are looking for an option in which resistance and durability prevail, we recommend this type of countertops. It is true that when it comes to choosing colors, it is more limited, since it usually has granules or streaks. Within this type of countertops we can find materials with a more homogeneous or more veined appearance.

Trend: the trend is in imported materials with a vintage or matte finish.



QUARTZ COUNTERTOPS

Quartz has established itself as one of the most widely used materials, due to the wide variety of colors offered by the main brands of compact quartz: Compac and Silestone. It is a subject that gives a lot of play. I love these countertops with the 4 cm thick edge. mitred, as it gives a feeling that it is thicker and looks like a single piece. It is a very easy to clean and resistant material. The only problem with this material lies in the low tolerance to high temperatures, that is, you cannot put a hot pot directly on it.

Trend: imitations of Italian white marble type carrara, statuary, calacata. They are materials with a softer shine that gives a more natural appearance.



BY PORCELAIN

Every year this type of materials is more in demand due to the fact that they follow the trail marked by quartz compacts with very varied color proposals, and also because porcelain has great resistance to scratches and heat.

Neolith, Dekton, Topker from Inalco, are some brands that have developed this technology with large formats to be able to undertake the production of kitchen countertops.


Trend: as in quartz, today light colors predominate, and with imitation of marble.



OF MARBLE COUNTERTOPS

For lovers of natural stone, aware that stone also has its own life, marble turns out to be the material that best embodies this virtue.

It is resistant to heat, but it is known that due to its porosity, it is easier to take stains. There, greater care or neatness is required when working on it, but what there is no doubt is that marble is and will always be the best representative of beauty in stone.


Trend: Macael white marble, Italian marbles.
