How to choose the perfect worktop

Worktops: Materials & Practicalities

A worktop can have many functions – most commonly found within the kitchen but not limited to it, sometimes used as a vanity in a bathroom. When planning a design, it’s likely you’ll have an idea of the look and feel you want to create – but you may not be aware of the options available to you when it comes to materials and colour.

Quartz worktops

One of the most versatile and nuanced of all worktop materials, quartz has been rapidly growing in popularity over the past few years to become a preferred choice to more traditional materials like marble and granite.

Granite worktops

Granite is another natural stone that is often one of the main materials considered for a kitchen. Intricate veining and unique patterns feel dynamic and sophisticated, with a range of colours that can perfectly pair with both neutral and bold designs. But granite isn’t without its drawbacks, prone to stains, chips and cracks as well as a hefty price point.

Again, Caesarstone has carefully developed a range of quartz worktops that capture the beauty of granite alongside enhanced strength and durability. Find out more about granite worktops and the quartz alternatives available.

An engineered stone like quartz can combat these pitfalls, combining dynamic functionality with stunning designs. Consider the pros and cons of stone worktops as well as our engineered quartz surfaces.
