Duropal guide to good worktops
While cabinets are examined for quality, door styles selected to suit individual tastes, and appliances chosen to save labour, the work surface can be an afterthought. Yet worktops are the most visible part of the kitchen and subject to the most punishment. Colour and finish must complement the cabinet fronts and withstand knocks, abrasions, chemical attack, damp, cigarette burns and steam. There is no other furniture component that is expected to tolerate so much. Those who buy a poor quality worktop will soon be looking for a replacement. That entails removing the sink and hob, disturbing tiles, re-cutting joints and trimming edge banding. An expensive and disruptive remedy.
