A modern natural stone kitchen worktop

What is the first thing we notice in a kitchen? Most likely a modern natural stone kitchen worktop. The worktop is where we prepare, cut and chop food. In December, the most festive month of the year, it works especially hard, as we are busy non-stop baking biscuits and other treats. For many people the worktop is also where they do office work or help the youngest with homework … Of all the materials on the market today, the best choice for a kitchen worktop is natural stone – granite. It is an investment in both quality and durability.

Why choose natural stone for your kitchen worktop?

Every block of rock that natural stone comes from has its own mineral structure, colour, veins and spots, and they show fully once the stone surface is finished. There are several possible finishes. A natural stone kitchen worktop is an excellent choice: you never again have to worry about where to put a hot pan or the sharpest object, and such a worktop will certainly last longer than any other material. It is true, though, that not every natural stone is suitable. The best choice is granite, which needs very little care. Still, we recommend sealing it before use to stop it absorbing liquids and to keep it resistant to all kinds of stains.

Granite is beautiful, very hard-wearing and resistant to heat and scratches. It brings elegance to the room and will inspire your cooking for many years. It can be exposed to sun, rain and other weather, so you can also have it in an outdoor kitchen. Properly treated granite also keeps out bacteria that would otherwise find a home in your new kitchen worktop. And do not worry: whatever the colour and shade of your kitchen, our choice of granite is so wide that you will find a pattern that completes it. See the gallery and choose a made-to-measure granite kitchen worktop.

Fitting a kitchen worktop

Our customers often ask whether a granite kitchen worktop needs extra reinforcement of the kitchen units. If you choose granite, our answer is no. When a worktop is made of several pieces, we make sure the joints are clean and level, with truly minimal deviation, and the seals between the pieces are watertight.

Care and maintenance of a granite kitchen worktop

No type of cleaner harms a granite worktop, but we still recommend cleaning it only with a soft cloth and hot water. This is enough even if you are concerned about germs and bacteria. Special granite cleaners are also available, and you can buy them from us too.

We can of course make your kitchen worktop from another natural stone if you wish, but we still recommend granite, which is by far the most suitable. It is the highest-quality solution for your new or next kitchen worktop. Visit us in Hoče at Miklavška cesta 53 B, or write to us at komerciala@marnit.si.
