Choosing the Perfect Worktop Material

Your worktop is one of the most important decisions in a kitchen design. It needs to be beautiful, durable, and suited to your lifestyle. Let us guide you through the most popular options we offer at CraftStone Kitchens.

Quartz (Silestone)

Engineered quartz surfaces like Silestone offer the best of both worlds: the beauty of natural stone with superior durability and virtually zero maintenance. Available in hundreds of colours and patterns, quartz is non-porous, scratch-resistant, and never needs sealing. It is our most popular choice for busy family kitchens.

Dekton

Dekton is an ultra-compact surface that is virtually indestructible. It resists heat, scratches, stains, and UV light. Available in large-format slabs up to 3.2 metres long, Dekton creates seamless, dramatic surfaces. It is ideal for both indoor kitchens and outdoor cooking areas.

Granite

Natural granite remains a popular choice for those who love the unique beauty of natural stone. Each slab is one-of-a-kind, with natural variations in colour and veining. Granite is incredibly hard and heat-resistant, though it does require periodic sealing to maintain its appearance.

Marble

Marble is the ultimate luxury worktop material. Its natural veining and luminous surface create an unmatched sense of elegance. However, marble is more porous and softer than alternatives, making it better suited to bathrooms or areas with lighter use.

Solid Wood

For warmth and character, nothing beats a solid wood worktop. Oak and walnut are our most requested timbers. Wood worktops develop a beautiful patina over time and can be sanded and re-oiled to refresh their appearance. They pair particularly well with shaker and classic kitchen styles.
