The use of stone in the construction industry has long been considered. Stone slab processing is one of the newest methods of stone preparation. One of the stone slab applications in the construction of kitchen counters and kitchen countertops. One of the most challenging choices when changing your kitchen decor is choosing a kitchen worktop. Stone countertops can be the best option for your kitchen space due to the variety of colors and models, durability and, resistance.

Types of cabinet countertop

Countertops can be made of different types of MDF or artificial ( Corian – Marble sheet ) and natural stones.

MDF Countertop

MDF panels are economical and come in various colors and designs. However, if the MDF coating is damaged, if the PVC edging and sealing are not properly applied, or if it eventually loses its effectiveness, moisture may seep into the core, causing damage.

Corian Countertop

Corian countertops offer a high lifespan but are relatively prone to scratches, which can reduce their clarity and finish over time. However, such damage can be repaired. The advantages of this type of countertop include a wide range of color options, good compressive strength, and seamless, clean joints. A notable disadvantage is the relatively high price compared to other materials.

Quartz Countertop

This stone, commonly referred to as engineered stone, offers a durable and resilient surface. Made with 93% natural quartz, this engineered stone offers a durable and water-resistant countertop surface.

Natural Stone Countertop

Natural stone, when properly selected as a countertop surface (with attention to water absorption, abrasion resistance, and flexural strength), offers not only excellent visual appeal and premium quality, but also remarkable durability against stains, heat, and scratches.

If you’re looking for unique beauty, a distinctive look, and long-lasting durability for your kitchen countertop, the best choice is to embrace the unmatched designs found in nature. Because the colors and patterns of natural stones are one of a kind and unrepeatable, none of the Corian or HPL surfaces can match their elegance in enhancing your kitchen’s appearance. This becomes especially important considering that modern kitchens are often open-concept, and countertops, especially on the kitchen island or kitchen worktop area, are highly visible and central to the overall design. For this reason, processing stone in this form has gained global market attention and become one of the key potentials for stone export.

Key Points In Selecting A Stone Countertop

One of the essential points in choosing a countertop is the type of stone. It is important to choose a stone with low water absorption to prevent cracking. For example, Azna crystal marble, Neyriz crystal marble, Aligoudarz crystal marble, and some Marble stones can be good choices for countertops. To prevent breakage of the stone kitchen countertop, be sure to iron the bottom of the stone.

A natural stone countertop is available in a variety of colors (dark – light) and designs (wavy -streaked – haloed – uniform), depending on your choice a variety of Marble, Granite, and Onyx will be at your disposal.

If you choose Onyx for your kitchen countertop, please note that it requires special care and maintenance. Because it is prone to staining, scratching, and eventually losing its shine. To protect Onyx from damage, you can apply a nano-coating to its surface. However, we recommended avoiding the use of Onyx as a countertop whenever possible.
