What countertop for the kitchen?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

It has become more and more central in recent years and has long been the heart of every home – the kitchen. In terms of style, what pleases is allowed, it should be functional and at the same time chic, especially if it is open to the living-dining area. <\/p>\n\n

Speaking of functional: When buying a new kitchen, you should also pay particular attention to the countertop, because it has to withstand great loads over the years. This is where cutting is done, pots are moved and even small household appliances such as a stand mixer, coffee maker or kettle find their place on the kitchen countertop.<\/p>\n\n

“In any case, a kitchen worktop should be chosen with careful consideration,” also says Christian Pichler, Managing Director of Bulthaup Opernring, who currently sees a trend towards natural materials such as quartzite or granite. “Countertops have gotten thinner in the last decade, people have gotten away from glass and slate because those materials can crack and scratch or the soft slate can stain.” Since you have a countertop in the best case “for the life of the kitchen”, we asked the professional what materials he would recommend and why.
