Every kitchen benchtop material has its pros and cons.
The best choice comes down to your budget, the design of your kitchen and how you want to use the benchtop. We’ve put together a handy table to help you compare common benchtop materials:
Benchtop Material | Budget | Heat Resistant | Stain Resistant | Scratch Resistant | Maintenance Requirements |
Laminate | $ | X | Very low | ||
Mineral Stone | $$ | X | X | X | Low |
Natural Stone | $$$ | X | X | Moderate |
We recommend laminate benchtops for most homes. Modern laminates come in thousands of colours and designs. The material is cost-effective and easy to work with, so it’s a great choice for your project.
frequently asked questions
Mineral stone benchtops are the most durable option. Unlike natural stone, mineral stone benchtops don’t require sealing. They are heat resistant, stain resistant and scratch resistant, so they’re tough enough for any home.
Caesarstone® is a popular manufacturer that previously made engineered stone benchtops. Now that Australia has banned the use of engineered stone due to health concerns, Caesarstone® now makes its benchtops from minerals or porcelain.
Mineral stone benchtops offer the look and feel of engineered stone, but without the crystalline silica content. This means they’re safe to manufacture.
The choice between 20mm and 40mm benchtops is mostly about aesthetics. 20mm benchtops offer a slim, minimalist appeal, while 40mm benchtops have a more solid appearance.
The material you choose can also limit your choice of benchtop thickness. For example, laminate kitchen benchtops are commonly available in 40mm thicknesses, while 20mm is rare. On the other hand, 20mm mineral stone benchtops are common in modern designs.
