Table tops are made from different materials.
Wooden
Wooden table tops have been very popular for a long time. Wood is one of the most commonly used materials in furniture production, so wooden tabletops will fit into the interior.
However, wood is a very demanding material. Wood quickly loses its original appearance if, for example, you place a hot container on the countertop or do not use a cutting board when cutting vegetables or meat. In addition, the slightest flaws and defects are visible on wooden surfaces, which also reduces the service life of the product.
Laminated
A laminated countertop can be represented by two types of materials: chipboard (chipboard) and finely dispersed fraction (MDF). The laminate is glued to these surfaces.
Among the advantages of laminate are its low cost, wide selection of colors, and ease of maintenance. But there are also disadvantages: exposure to high temperatures (through hot dishes) has a detrimental effect on the laminated coating, and the same applies to the interaction of the laminate with sharp cutting objects.
From stone
Stone countertops are made primarily from marble and granite. If marble is a more beautiful and luxurious material, then granite is characterized by durability and resistance to various types of influences. Stone is a safe and durable material that is practically resistant to high temperatures and cutting objects. It is for these reasons that stone countertops remain in high demand, despite their high cost. The only disadvantage is the weight of the product, which requires additional equipment during installation.
Metal
Metal countertops are gaining popularity every day, this can be explained by the following reasons: low cost, ease of use and care. Metal surfaces are resistant to high temperatures, there are no traces of water left on them, they do not deteriorate over time, and they are easy and simple to care for. But like many other materials, metal is easily damaged by sharp objects, which are so often used when cooking in the kitchen.
Glass
Glass countertops have become popular relatively recently. They have many positive properties. Firstly, these are their aesthetic qualities. Glass will not only fit well into any interior style, but can even visually enlarge the space due to its reflective properties. In addition, glass is an environmentally friendly, durable material that is easy to care for. Among the disadvantages of glass countertops are fragility and high cost.
