Kitchen bench tops

The kitchen is the heart of the home and deserves to be styled with care and attention. There are many materials that can be used for kitchen bench tops, but natural stone is an elegant and durable option available in a range of colours and styles. Choose neutral colours to create a calm backdrop to then add patterns, colours and textures to your design. Or choose a bold and vibrant stone so your bench top becomes a feature of your kitchen design. Each piece of natural stone is unique, so whatever your choice, you will end up with a kitchen bench top that looks elegant and timeless.

Aside from looks, durability and maintenance are important aspects to consider when choosing natural stone for your kitchen bench tops. Created by nature it does not contain chemicals like engineered stone, making it a safer option for areas of food preparation. As this is an area of a home that is in frequent use, your stone needs to be durable. A bench top is also going to come into contact with foods and liquids, so it needs to be easy to clean and maintain throughout its lifetime. You will also want to ensure your stone won’t become scratched or stained. We can advise on suitable stone choices to ensure you are selecting a stone suitable for a kitchen bench top which can easily be cleaned and cared for and will stay looking its best for many years to come.
