HOB Material Which Is The Best

 
The countertop is the element of the kitchen that is subjected to more intense use. It is a work area that supports a great hustle every day, so when choosing a countertop material, in addition to the aesthetic aspect, you must thinking other characteristics such as the maintenance that each surface needs, durability or resistance.


Granite

A classic of kitchens. Currently, there are new models with a variety of finishes and colours. It is a natural stone, unique, with personality because no two pieces are the same. Granite has great durability, possibly the greatest of all other materials. Granite is a hygienic countertop material and fully suitable for direct contact with food. Granite countertops feature high scratch and shock resistance. If a water-repellent and antibacterial treatment are applied, it will also be resistant to stains. Granite countertops do not need any specific maintenance.

Porcelain

The porcelain countertops are current. They are given different names, from large-format porcelain to ultra-compact or compact sintered surfaces. We are faced with a countertop material of high quality and with the highest degree of resistance of all materials. Porcelain kitchen countertops withstand abrasion, heat, moisture, stains and bumps. You can put directly on the countertop a hot casserole or pan without staining or burning; they even hold fire directly being able to cook with a torch on them. It is a hygienic material and fully suitable for direct contact with food. The stains also do not alter their appearance, nor if you want the more complicated ones such as those of oil or acids such as lemon or vinegar, since they are not porous, and they are also very easily cleaned with a wipe. There is a wide range of colours and finishes. It is an Eco-friendly and environmentally friendly material. The porcelain countertops are large-format pieces and accept semi-invisible joints that are almost not appreciated. They do not require any additional maintenance.

Quartz

Wide range of colours and finishes. It is the countertop material with the greatest variety of colours on the market. It has great shock resistance and medium heat resistance as it does not support direct heat sources. Use Creamer if you're leaving a hot casserole or pan on a quartz countertop or there might be marks left. Its low porosity also makes it resistant to stains. Quartz countertops are easy to clean by well supporting the use of soft scouring pads and detergents for cleaning, but you should not use metal scouring pads. It does not need specific maintenance, but it does take some care with the heat sources.


Wood

Wooden countertops are attractive for their natural beauty, but they are a more delicate material that requires more maintenance than other materials. It offers low average resistance to heat, smudges, bumps and scratching. After installing them, treatment must be applied to protect it. If we apply this treatment, the wooden countertop will withstand moisture well. They can be cleaned with soft scouring pads and wipes, and if they are scratched, you can return it to its original appearance with a medium-grain sandpaper sanding in the direction of the vein until the scratch is eliminated and applying a varnish again. Of course, it is an ecological countertop material, even more so if it is bamboo wood. It is a fragile material that with the passage of time may appear fissures. It needs frequent maintenance and care by applying linen oils, treatments to nourish it, sanding, varnish

Laminated or chipboard

Laminate kitchen countertops are very economical and withstand moisture. They also offer a variety of colors and finishes. Its stain resistance is average, therefore of a lower degree than that of other materials. Allows cleaning with a soft scouring pad. This material of countertops offers a medium-low resistance to heat being able to place on top of its dishes and ceramic containers with hot food, but for casseroles or hot pans, we must use a tablecloth or hourglass saver. Its scratch resistance is also low, so we must use a board to cut food and not do it on the countertop. It requires more care at the time of use that we give it to maintain its original appearance.
