One of the most significant choices you have to make when renovating your kitchen is what type of worktop surface you are going to have. Not only do you need to ensure that the colour and style fits with the rest of the design, but more importantly, the decision on the materials your worktop is made from is crucial.

What does not make the choice of worktop any easier is that there are multiple options. As a result, many kitchen refits are delayed because making a final decision on the worktop is too difficult for the customer. Trying to balance the practicalities of a worktop surface, the colour options, and the cost is not easy for everyone.

To ensure that you are not left in the same quandary we have outlined the pros and cons of seven of the most popular worktop surfaces. If you are still unsure, then we strongly recommend you seek advice from a professional kitchen design company such as Kitchen Professionals.
