Solid wood

The main advantage of wood is its full environmental friendliness. The wooden set has a pleasant smell and can last a long time. The minuses include susceptibility to changes in temperature and humidity.

Plastic

Laminated chipboard

Kitchen sets made of laminated chipboard are not expensive, a wide selection of design colors is presented. But the headset does not have high wear resistance, the service life is much less than other options. It is made by applying several layers of a special composition on chipboard sheets.

A rock

The countertop of the kitchen set can be made of natural or artificial stone.

However, natural stone has a high cost and is also difficult to install due to its high weight.

Artificial stone is affordable and easy to install. In addition, design options in different colors are much larger. The material is waterproof, durable and, if necessary, is easily restored.

MDF and particleboard

Affordable and inexpensive material for the kitchen, has a wide variety of choices. However, it is not durable, not heat-resistant, due to constant contact with water, the surface may swell.

The production technology consists in coating a chipboard or MDF board with a special protective film or plastic. The difference between the materials in the density of wood chips and the presence of harmful resins.

Tree

Worktops are made of durable rocks. The set from the massif of a tree looks cozy, it is pleasant to touch it. However, in terms of practicality, a tree is not the best option. With constant contact with water, a fungus may appear, the material has a low level of heat resistance and heat resistance. The tree also reacts to temperature changes and the humidity level of the room.

If you need to replace the element will require a lot of effort. Trowel joints absorb dyes well and will require restoration over time.

Steel

Steel is the most practical material of all. Not afraid of heat, water and chemistry, easy to care for and very durable. The only negative is the difficulty with the selection of the interior. The material is cold, if used improperly, it can deprive the kitchen of coziness.
