Your kitchen benchtop is probably the most used surface in your home. You can make your morning coffee, prepare meals for special occasions and pour a glass wine after a long day.
Kitchen benchtops can be overlooked in your home. If you’re a homeowner, it is worth spending the time to learn how to make this valuable accessory a stunning feature in your home.
A few years ago, the options for choosing a kitchen benchtop were limited to just a handful of popular laminate colors. Granite and engineered stones products were reserved for high-end kitchens. For most, it was an extra cost that the budget could not afford.
The supply and demand of stone benchestops have changed. Now, a stone benchtop can be an affordable luxury in most New Zealand homes.
Granite benchtops are made from one chunk of granite quarried directly out of the earth. These natural stone benchtops have been removed as large blocks, then cut into individual slabs and polished.
Engineered stone benchtops or quartz are made from crushed quartz and resin. The ratio is 94% quartz to 66% resin. They come in many different colours and patterns, and have a 10-year product warranty. Silestone and Caesarstone are two of the most popular and highly recommended brands.
