Your kitchen countertop is one the most important aesthetic in your kitchen. A countertop must match your cabinets, flooring and walls in your kitchen, it ties the room together. Torbitts Kitchens have plenty of ideas about how your kitchen can be completed.

Marble

Marble worktops can create both an elegant and casual feel in your kitchen. Some marble countertops are subtle using simple slabs that cover countertops and your kitchen island that match in with a bold backlash. Other marble countertops we have seen have made a statement. These countertops have the marble effect but the tone or colour is striking. 

There are many benefits of a marble countertop for your kitchen:

• Affordable – marble looks expensive but can cost less than some natural stone countertops
• Durability – marble is known for its durability. As it is a natural stone, marble is more resistant to scratches and cracking.
• Distinctive – marble is natural which means every slab is different. Some countertops attempt to imitate this look but you cannot compare it to the real thing.
• Longevity – Marble is known to be able to withstand the test of time with its heat-resistant qualities and natural strong material. You will have your marble countertop for a long time.

Oak Wood

Oak wood is one of the most common materials used for kitchen countertops, and there is a reason for that. Oak is hard-waring and gives your kitchen that natural calming look that ties in well with deeper colours and two-toned kitchens. These countertops are a timeless style, in fact it actually looks better with age! 

Oak can be used to style your kitchen in many different ways as each slab is unique. Your kitchen will be one of a kind. Oil-stained oak has seen a comeback in 2021, we have seen oil-stained oak countertops matched with limestone floors and white painted wood walls and ceiling. Simple yet effective. 

Sticking to the classic Oak Slab is another lovely way oak wood can be used as a kitchen countertop. This style adds a rustic touch to your cooking space, this material gives your home a Tuscan-style or farmhouse feel.

Granite

Granite countertops are the favourite when it comes to kitchen countertops. Although they are dear, this fine material is worth every penny. As granite is a natural material it can come in many different colors and even then no two colours are the same. There are over three different types of granite and no two are the same! Not only are you promised a beautiful, shiny, durable countertop but it will be completely bespoke. 

Usually, customers opt for simple tones like black or white which allows them to experiment with bolder colours on their kitchen cabinets but granite can be the statement itself. There are many tones of granite, some prefer the more natural style that replicates the natural stone style more.

Whatever your preference, there are many materials out there to choose from to complete your kitchen.
