Which type to buy?

Laminate

Laminate worktops are the most popular and cost effective. Laminate is a fairly durable material, and is easy to fit and keep clean. Always remember the higher the gloss surface, the more likely it is to show any masking.

Solid Wood

Solid wood worktops are more expensive to buy and to fit, as they require sealing prior to fitting and regular maintenance to keep their appearance. However, they are a popular choice and are easy to create unusual shaped worktops.

Solid Surface

Solid surface worktops such as Encore, Getta Core and Minerelle are popular as they can be jointed and then polished by machine to give an almost invisible join, and they are suitable for creating unusual shaped tops. It is also possible to repair damaged areas and re-polish the tops to remove scratches. You can have sinks moudled into worktop to give an all in on look. However, please note that due to their robust nature, these worktops are more expensive than laminate and require a lengthier installation period.

Granite and Sandstone

Granite and sandstone worktops are the most expensive, but do look fantastic. They do require regular maintenance to stay looking good, and cooking oils can cause permanent stains. They require a longer installation time as they have to be templated after the base units have been installed, then fabricated in a workshop, and finally brought to site to be fitted. Generally there is a week between templating and the tops being fitted.

What We Can Offer

HKBInstallation both supplies and fits worktops to your kitchen's specifications in a cost-effective and efficient manner.

The most difficult decision to make when buying worktops is choosing what type to have, as worktops can be made from a vast range of different substances and materials. The most common types are laminate; solid wood; solid surface; granite and sandstone. These materials vary in their durability, cost, and looks, and sometimes this can be an intimidating choice to make. If you have any questions regarding which is the right type of worktop for you, please don’t hesitate to contact HKBInstallation for advice.

Worktops generally come in 30mm, 40mm, and 60mm thickness, although 40mm is the most common.
