OBJECTIVE: KITCHEN COUNTERTOPS

In the kitchen, the countertop occupies a special place next to the pavement and the furniture. It’s on the countertop where a lot of the kitchen work is carried out. The countertop is a key decorative and functional element when designing the kitchen of your dreams. Each person has tastes, needs and a budget, that’s why we bring you some different types of countertops.

1.- NATURAL STONE:

Granite and marble are two great classics in our kitchens. The reasons why they are chosen are because of their resistance, the durability of the material, the ease of cleaning and the conservation.

The wood is a noble material with multiple decorative utilities, but if it is going to stand out it  will be for its naturalness, for its warmth and the variety of finishes.
