Quality Counter Tops: Material choices

April 5, 2008 - PRLog -- When defining a counter top, we are normally referring to a work surface in the workplace such as a bar or kitchen. These counter tops are generally positioned above cupboards or cabinets. The materials used in the construction of these counter tops differ depending on their use.

A stainless steel counter top is ideally suited to businesses that deal with food and catering. It is extremely easy to keep clean and is able to be sterilised while withstanding damage that can be caused by condensation in humid areas such as kitchens. It is also resilient and can withstand heavy impacts without cracking or breaking.

Again, for kitchen and catering use, the granite counter top can be a good choice. Being a volcanic rock, granite is scratch and stain resistant with the added benefit of endurance and resilience. Its hard wearing properties make it a great option and it the extra factor of being natural and stylish simultaneously.

Counter tops made from wood are also available and also have their benefits. These wooden bar counters have a nice tactile feel to them, while still being hard wearing. These counters have a charm of their own and with proper care can last for many years.
