01. Solid wood countertop
The appearance of solid wood countertops is definitely first-class, but when choosing, it is best to choose the kind of wood that grows slowly and densely, and the price will be relatively high. Of course, there are also spliced solid wood countertops with relatively favorable prices, no matter which one needs to be sealed, antibacterial, and waterproof, otherwise cracking and mold are a matter of minutes.

02. Fireproof board countertop
The fireproof board is actually particleboard (wood-based panel), the price is more affordable than solid wood, you can make any pattern you want, and the surface fire performance is better.

03. Marble countertop
Marble countertops have low cost, natural texture, high hardness, wear resistance, and high-temperature resistance, and are not easy to deform.
However, the surface of marble has many pores, and dirt is easy to seep in, so if you want to use natural stone for kitchen countertops, in addition to sealing the pores on the surface once every two years, you also need to clean very diligently.

04. Artificial quartz stone countertop
Quartz stone is also a type of artificial stone, the difference is that it is made by breaking the quartz stone and bonding it with resin. The quartz stone countertop itself has a high hardness, is not afraid of scratches, and is also resistant to acid and alkali oil; its only drawback is that the splicing is not seamless, and there will be some traces.

05. Stainless steel countertop
If the home is a simple style and industrial style, stainless steel countertops are a good choice. Stainless steel countertop is known as the easiest countertop to clean, in addition to their fire resistance, high-temperature resistance, and easy cleaning, but also because it is antibacterial; stainless steel and artificial stone can be made into a seamless integrated design.
The only problem is that the wear resistance is poor and it is especially easy to spend. Moreover, the steel plate of the stainless steel table is not thick, and it will deform and bulge after long-term heating.
