You should choose your worktop carefully. This is because it is cut for you according to your needs and cannot simply be exchanged. Especially if it is a heavy countertop. Besides the design aspect, personal factors also play a role. Durability is the decisive criterion for choosing a material. We will tell you here what to look for when choosing and which properties are important for kitchen countertops.
