Just because your kitchen worktops have to be pratical and kept clean, doesn't mean that you have to sacrifice style these days. There are many options to choose from, which as always depend on the particular requirments you have and your budget.

Here are the most commonly used worktop materials:

• Stainless Steel - most often used in professional kitchens, it's contemporary, durable and easy to keep clean. It can be dented and scratched though
• Laminate - the most inexpensive option, which comes in a variety of patterns and colours. It's not cut or scratch-resistant and can scorched by hot pans.
• Granite - is now commonly used as a material for kitchen worktops, Colours and patterns are dependant on where it was quarried. It won't burn or scratch and keeps it's colour. But it does need sealing occasionally to prevent staining.
• Wood - Maple, Beech, Walnut, Teak, Oak and Mahogany are all hardwoods used for kitchen worktops. Although warm and appealing, wood does scratch, burn and stain, but with modicum of elbow-grease, can be rubbed-down, oiled and restored to almost new condition.
• Quartz - is non-porous, available in many bright colours (unlike granite which is usually dark) and very hygienic. Although about 10% more expensive than granite, it doesn't need resealing.
• Corian® - is a solid plastic material, which is hardwearing, scratch resistant, does not scorch or stain and comes in a variety of colours. Although about 3 times more expensive, it can be repaired -unlike laminated worktops,

• Glass - very contemporary & modern - it definitely makes a statement! However, it can get scratched and even break if misused. If not kept spotless, it can show finger-prints, coffee mug rings etc.
