When it comes to price, the cheapest kitchen worktop materials are most certainly laminate and wood. Both these materials tend to be relatively inexpensive to buy, which makes them a tempting choice for many homeowners when redesigning the kitchen.

However, if you are able to stretch your budget, then it’s worth investing in a granite worktop. Just take a look at a few of the benefits granite worktops have to offer:

• Stain and Scratch Resistance – Unfortunately low cost surfaces tend to stain, scratch and chip easily. This means that they will need to be repaired or replaced far more regularly than a granite surface. A granite work surface could last 20 years or more, whereas a laminate alternative may need replacing every five years.
• Hygienic – Wood is a porous worksurface, which means that bacteria can easily lurk within the grain of the wood. This will necessitate an intensive clean on a regular basis. Granite, on the other hand, is a hygienic work-surface that requires minimal cleaning.
• Aesthetics – Other worktops cannot surpass the stunning shine, clean lines and natural patterns of granite. Most people agree that natural stone is a luxurious and beautiful addition to any kitchen – modern or traditional.
