A Guide to Choosing Kitchen Worktops

Your worktop takes more daily wear than almost any surface in the house, so it pays to choose well. Here is how the main options compare.

Popular worktop materials

Quartz is hard-wearing, non-porous and low maintenance, making it one of the most popular choices today. Granite offers a natural stone look with great durability. Solid wood brings warmth and character but needs occasional oiling. Laminate is the most budget-friendly and now comes in convincing stone and timber effects.
