Stainless Steel
Is stainless steel a good idea for a kitchen worktop?
We are building a new kitchen, it’s going to be white and modern, and we are not sure what material to choose for the worktop. We like stainless steel, but we are afraid that it will scratch easily and look bad after a few years. Does any of you have one, and if so would you recommend it?
Personally, I would go for a granite or engineered stone bench top.
You can always have stainless steel appliances such as the fridge, microwave oven, oven, cooktop, etc with a granite or engineered stone bench top. These two types of bench tops would looks so modern and stylish, plus they both with hold scratches etc
Here are the pros and cons of having a stainless steel bench top, as well as a granite and engineered stone bench top
Stainless steel
Stainless steel benches were once only found in restaurants and industrial kitchens. Bu the minimalist, contemporary look they create means they’re in many private kitchens now, too.
Pros
Most hygienic type of benchtop
Able to withstand hot pans
Won’t warp or corrode
Can incorporate the sink and drainage area
Cons
Scratches show easily
Streak marks are common after cleaning
One of the most expensive options
Is a noisy material on which to work
——————————————————–
Granite
Hard stone option.
Pros
Hardest benchtop material
Able to withstand hot pans
Difficult to scratch
Available in many colours
Cons
The colour and pattern you choose in the showroom may be different to what you get
Medium to high price range
The porous nature of stone requires regular resealing
——————————————————————————-
Engineered stone
Engineered stone is new to the market. It’s a combination of stone granules, marble dust or glass particles and resin or polyester.
Pros
Stain and scratch resistant
Able to withstand hot pans
No need to seal
Cons
Expensive option
