The table-top in kitchen solves two problems at once: esthetic and functional. On the one hand, it is the interesting and decorating room interior subject, and with another – is the working surface necessary for placement of kitchen accessories and cooking. Therefore impose a number of requirements to table-tops: durability, resistance to mechanical influence, high temperature and moisture. Also they have to be cleaned easily, without saving at the same time dirt on the surface.
Instruction
1. One of the most popular materials used for production of table-tops is chipboard (wood chipboard) and MDF (fine fraction). The second material is more expensive, but also is more eco-friendly. Such table-tops cost rather not much and have high functional performance. They are strong, thanks to special impregnation are resistant to moisture, and at appropriate quality also long serve. The surface of table-top is covered with laminate or plastic (method postforming).
2. Esthetically and originally table-tops from artificial stone look. This material represents mix of marble crumb and acrylic resin. It is strong, durable, is easily polished, does not absorb moisture and costs cheaper than natural stone. Thanks to seamless technology which is applied when mounting table-top it is possible to achieve any form which is absolutely deprived of ugly seams.
3. The table-tops executed from natural stone look richly and magnificently, creating the special atmosphere in kitchen. Diorite, marble, basalt, granite, sandstone – materials weight. So marble is beautiful, however is quite fragile and whimsical, and granite is strong, but at the same time is too solid. The table-top should be chosen so that you accepted the drawing of stone.
4. Except the listed above options, table-tops also do of the natural wood laminated or tempered glass, stainless steel, ceramic tile. When choosing these materials are guided rather by aspiration to non-standard design decisions and originality, than practicality reasons.
