Composite
Best used: A very practical and beautiful choice that can be used anywhere, including next to hobs and around the sink.
Best look: Dramatic colours such as dark grey and blue look fabulous in modern and contemporary kitchens. If your room design is quite traditional, stick to neutrals such as cream.
Upkeep: Wipe up spills to prevent marks. Keep clean with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent.
Sealing required: No
Durability: Composite is very tough and more durable than many natural stones. As the colour runs right the way through the material, any scratches can be sanded out.
Flexibility and fitting: This worksurface can be thermoformed into different shapes without joints to create streamlined, seamless worktop runs.
Price per linear metre: From approx £300 per linear m.
