The right kitchen worktop will enhance even the most basic kitchen units, turning an ordinary looking kitchen into a room fit for a design magazine.
Here at Kitchen Design Centre, we want you to understand your options so you can choose the very best materials suited to your home.
Here are some of the most popular work surface materials available on the market today.
Granite
For demanding kitchen environments, granite is the perfect choice.
The only compound harder than granite is diamond, so it will last for many years.
But it’s not just because of its durability that people invest in granite – it also looks fantastic.
Flexible, and with a choice of over 30 colours and eye-catching designs, granite is great for kitchen work surfaces because it’s resistant to water, heat and staining.
It will stand up against almost any treatment and is easily wiped clean afterwards.
Silestone worktops
Hygiene is extremely important in today’s kitchen and no material ensures cleanliness better that silestone.
With a layer of special antibacterial protection that won’t wash away for years, silestone is both scratch and stain resistant.
It’s perfect for any designer kitchen, since it is available in a wide variety of colours, textures and designs.
Silestone is over 90% natural quartz.
Corian Worktops
Corian is well known for its solidity and versatility.
Easy to clean, beautiful and unaffected by chemical cleaners, this is popular choice for designer kitchens.
Corian will resist mould, mildew, and bacteria.
Be aware, however, that although it is scratch and stain resistant you should be a little more cautious than with silestone. It must be dried whenever it is cleaned to avoid water stains and damage to the finish.
There are many styles and designs available with corian, including beautiful finishes like matte satin, semi or high gloss.
For anyone who is really interested in corian, it is made of acrylic polymer and alumina trihydrate.
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a cost effective alternative to silestone, corian and granite, but, even so it is extremely practical and looks great.
It is water and stain resistant and available in a huge variety of colours and finishes.
Laminate is available in premium laminate, high definition laminate, extra matt laminate, square edge laminate and glass effect laminate.

A KITCHEN AND LIVING SPACE REIMAGINED FOR A RIBBLE VALLEY HOME
Paulo and Debbie first discovered Kitchen Design Centre back in 2013 when they created their dream kitchen—and they loved it so much that, years later, they returned once more.
This time, it was for a brand-new kitchen, utility room, games room and garage storage area as part of a major renovation to their family home.
Inspired by a stunning display in the Barrowford showroom, Paulo and Debbie teamed up with Barrowford Showroom Manager, Simon Thomas. With over 25 years of experience, Simon was the perfect person to take on their new brief—one that pushed boundaries and called for creativity in a limited space.
Debbie, inspired by Pinterest, envisioned a kitchen with rich walnut tones. Simon brought this to life with a sophisticated, contemporary design that cleverly created the feeling of a large island in a narrow room, proving that great design isn’t about space—it’s about smart solutions. He did this by linking the island to one wall to create the perfect cooking centre with all the focus in to the room.
“Simon was incredible. We loved the kitchen so much that we asked him to turn his attention to the majority of our downstairs. The whole area now has real wow factor—and it’s incredibly practical too. We couldn’t be happier with the result.”

A SLEEK, HIGH-END CONTEMPORARY KITCHEN FOR A MANCHESTER HOME
When renovating their Worsley home, Kim and Paul knew exactly who to trust with their dream kitchen — Kitchen Design Centre.
A Sleek, High-End Contemporary Kitchen for a Manchester Home
Having worked with them four years ago in their previous home, they were so thrilled with the result that choosing them again was an easy decision.
Visiting the Urmston showroom, they were immediately inspired by the stunning displays and enlisted designer Rowan Chick to create a sleek yet functional space. They envisioned a monochrome palette to complement the ultra-modern aesthetic of their new home — a striking contrast to their previous more traditional navy and taupe kitchen.
