ABOUT WORKTOPS

Worktops are work surfaces for kitchens. They may be made of laminate, solid wood, granite, stainless steel, or composite materials such as Corian. Laminate worktops are available in a wide range of colors and patterns, including sumulated wood and stone.

Composite materials such as Corian can be formed into continuous sinks and worktops.
