Which countertop is best for kitchen? •
We will be discussing the various countertops that can be used in a model so countertops are basically mostly used for you know having hot utensils on it you know you need to you chop vegetables so they need to be very sturdy and very long-lasting . they need to be very strong they need to be some what bacteria resistant if that's possible and there are some countertop options that actually provide that nowadays they do not they need to be very smooth very easily cleanable. so that you know you're doing a lot of chopping you're doing a lot of cooking work over there. it needs to make sure that you know it's somewhat stainless stent so that the aesthetics of the countertop are actually preserved over a good period of time so the one of the best options that we always recommend to our clients is basically granite so generally we have tonight over here and this is the best option that. we say it's a it's a natural stone it generally has specks which are these natural specks.

It doesn't actually come in a lot of colors because you know natural stone they're extremely dark colors available and it has these natural specs to it also but apart from that it is the best option. if you look at it from a very utility point of view it's has great strength it is very much stainless steel because it's a non-porous material so it doesn't absorb a lot of stains you know and spices healthy masala it doesn't absorb all those things. it's very heat resistant so or any hot utensils that you're going to keep on it doesn't impact. it that way it doesn't take away from its life a lot so it is one of the best option that we actually suggest to our to our clients who have like utility in their mind as a top priority. it is very durable actually the most durable option and that's why it's just this the second option after that is which is basically you we have an option over here. so now these things they actually come in yes they're made of synthetic material and the main reason that why we use it is because aesthetics they can be they can come in a lot of colors specifically light colors they can have a different kind of sparkles to it they can have various kind of designs and patterns to it.

so we have one over here so it leads to it provides you a lot of aesthetic options to play with the look of your kitchen to add a different kind of color to add a different element to it to make it more appealing and you know more is aesthetically beautiful. so what happens with this is this is actually not as durable as grenade but it's just like a tad bit less durable compared to granite. it is somewhat stain resistant but not as much as granite it has it has some pores to it so over a period of time it might get a little yellow it might get. you know it might have stains here and there but that generally happens like six seven years or five six years plus from the time. it is it is also it is heat resistant to a good extent and generally the heat does not affect it a lot if you keep hot utensils on it it won't leave a mark it won't take away a lot of life from it generally because it's a synthetic

If you take a design which is something like let's say like this design so it has sparkles in it so what happens with these sparkles are that over a period of time. you know these might get a little dented these sparkles might just come off and yeah that might lead to a little small crevices here and there over a period of time but that also mostly happens after five years or after six years and yeah. so that's how we come to Homular and that's always reports to some people who are some people who are not who don't really want a very strong option they are looking at aesthetics also. They want a certain character to be brought into their Modular kitchen design using a different pattern using a different color so Homular works great in that it does not take away a lot of the durability. which grenade actually offers but it's still very good works very well and it is actually a very good option recommended by architects quite a lot quite often nowadays. So that's a very decent option you can go with the third option is which is some what expensive and used actually more in serving kitchens. i would suggest as well as it's used as countertops in a lot of commercial settings commercial food courts and all that so this option is basically korean. so korean is made of synthetic material completely and the advantage of that is that the joints of corian can be somewhat melted and merged together so it gives a very seamless look you can make quite a lot of somewhat beautiful forms of it. which you might have seen in you know various food code serving counters and they have like a certain design going through. It so that's how the korean is some what malleable it can be can connect them and then heat them up. so that they merge together properly there are no joints so it can be used to create quite a few patterns to it the disadvantage is it's actually one of the least stain resistant material that. we have that is another reason why you know if you go to food colors there will be scratches on the counter on the countertops and they'll be like yellowish marks on corners and stuff like that is not because they are not trying to be clean it's just that material it's the material it tends to absorb all these things it's a little soft it's not that hard it's not that durable. so scratches and skid marks all these things appear a bit too often on it after a period of time also it is not exactly that heat resistant if you're going to use it in the distinction kitchen. we don't recommend it at all because if you put hot utensils on it over and over again that it generally leaves a mark and it leaves a mark very often and it's like you can't do anything about that later on also it won't get resolved you'll have to like completely dispose it off and use it again. So generally we don't use korean they have they have like it used to be very bad earlier when it came four or five years ago now it is still somewhat heat resistant but it's still not exactly very good for a residential kitchen and that's why you don't suggest it over there a lot of people use it but it generally gets in residential efficiency it generally gets used in a show kitchen like. If you have you want to have a serving counter area or you want or you want to have a kitchen where you are able to cook for your guests it's generally not used in a very heavy duty kitchen or the main kitchen where most of the food is being made and trimmed because it's not that durable apart from that we have some other fancy materials that are used as countertops we have stainless steel those stainless steel kitchens they use steel countertops they are very good there's no problem over there apart from the fact that obviously. if you keep a hot utensil over there it's like it will take the heat it won't leave a mark so you need to be a little careful with that but apart from that a lot of commercial patients use it. it's very easy to clean highly durable of course very smooth there are chances of marks and crevices is next to nil. so that's a very durable item and it can actually be used in open kitchens as well so we have done some cody art kitchens in which you know you have like a commercial Modular kitchen design which is in a somewhat of an outside area so it's like a garden or in the middle of a garden or it's like a big gazebo and you know it's at the center of center over there. so it works very well that's not an issue apart from that some people use toughened glass that's an element which actually gives a this is a great amount of character to the kitchen. so people who are making expensive kitchens using high quality and expensive finishes on their Modular kitchen design sometimes they use a different glass over there you can use quite a few patterns. you can use any sort of color that you want it looks very good it's a decent option but again i wouldn't suggest it's not that durable it's again used mostly in show kitchens not exactly in main kitchens. where you're supposed to you know prep you're supposed to do you know hardcore chopping you're supposed to do crushing off materials yeah it's not it's not very conducive over there it does crack out a few times. if you know if used carelessly or with a lot of force on this kind of a countertop but apart from that it's smooth it's good to the touch great aesthetically so yeah so these are the basic options that we have for the countertop and apart from that these are the ones that we offer to our clients most of the time grenade is our favorite then gently we come to Homular after that accordion and in show kitchens where budget is generally not a problem we do steal we do toughen glass and all these things you
