8 Kitchen Worktop Materials and How Well They Work
由专筑网Zia，小R编译
无论是由于新冠的封控、大量的订阅食谱，还是高科技的厨房设备，当前厨房的使用频率逐步增长，同时，流行的开放式厨房使人们难以将厨房和用餐空间分隔开，甚至无法安顿下来享受一个轻松的夜晚。
因此，现代厨房台面材质尤为重要，不仅需要经受住频繁的使用，又能简单快速地进行清洁，使其轻松地恢复如初。以下是市场中最常见的八种厨房台面材料。
Whether you blame Covid lockdowns, recipe box subscriptions, or the latest high-tech kitchen appliances, everyone’s spending more time in the kitchen. Meanwhile, popular open-plan spaces remove the option of simply shutting the door on the catastrophic mess of a big meal, before settling in for a relaxing evening.
The modern kitchen worktop, then, has to work harder than ever before. Impenetrable when standing up to increased use, yet simple and quick to clean, returning to its sleek and stylish position as a backdrop to the perfect interior with ease. Here are ten of the most common kitchen worktop materials in a crowded market.
石英石台面

石英石是最坚固、最耐用的台面之一，这种耐刮、耐污、耐热和耐冲击的材料有长达50年的质量保证。它的成分是一致的，虽然有不同的颜色深度和花纹脉络可供选择，但从台面的一端到另一端不会有很大的变化。更重要的是，石英是热成型的，这意味着定制的形状和尺寸可以在没有接缝的情况下成型和安装，这样无孔、抗菌的表面可以更轻松地清洁。
One of the strongest, most durable worktops around, the scratch-, stain-, heat- and impact-resistant Superstone quartz comes with a warranty of up to 50 years. It has a consistent composition, so although sparkling depth and artistic veining are available options, there’s no large variation from one end of the worktop to the other. What’s more, quartz is thermoformed, meaning bespoke shapes and sizes are molded and installed without joints, allowing the non-porous, anti-bacterial surface to be cleaned with ease.
花岗岩台面

没有什么比花岗岩厨房台面更能体现奢华。作为一种天然的板状切割产品，花岗岩拥有独特的图案和颜色，但其表面本身也可以用现代的哑光或古典的抛光手法处理。它耐热、耐刮、耐水，但花岗岩的耐久性需要好的密封性加持。
Nothing quite sells luxury like a granite kitchen worktop. A completely natural slab-cut product, granite guarantees an absolutely unique pattern and colouring, yet the surface itself can be finished in contemporary matt, or a classically beautiful polish. It’s heat, scratch and water resistant, but the durability of granite does require sealing.
大理石台面

另一种天然石材产品就是大理石，在许多方面，大理石似乎拥有石英石和花岗岩的特征。这种多孔的岩石需要定期密封，以保持性能；它不耐酸，所以就如高中化学所说，切柠檬也需要准备案板；它也容易被划伤，所以要小心手表、皮带扣和珠宝，以及刀子。然而，它是自然凉的，所以是烘焙和糕点制作的绝佳选择。然而对一些人来说，其自然形成的纹路之美足以让人忘记它的其他缺点。
Another natural stone product in many ways marble appears to be quartz and granite’s off-brand cousin. The porous rock needs regular sealing to keep up its general protection; it’s not acid resistant, so as well as high-school chemistry, chopping lemons also demands a chopping board; and it’s also susceptible to scratches, so be careful with watches, belt buckles, and jewelry – as well as knives. It is, however, naturally cool. So an excellent choice for baking and pastry work. While for some, the beauty of its naturally-occurring veins is enough to forget its other faults.
木质台面

如果独特和自然的图案在你愿望之树的顶端，那么自然纹理木材的温暖和厚度可能是另一个环保的优质之选。木质工作台面很容易切割成合适的尺寸，甚至可以切割出你需要的任何形状。然而，容易切割的性能是双向的，所以一定要用木板和三角板保护防止其表面被刮伤和烧焦。
If unique and natural patterning is at the top of your wishing tree, then the warmth and depth of naturally-grained wood could be a suitably welcoming and environmental worktop option. Wooden worktops are easy to cut down to the right size, and indeed to cut out whatever shapes you need it to fit around. Easy to cut, however, works both ways, so be sure to save the surface from scratches and scorches with boards and trivets.
层压板台面

多孔木质工作台面的密封过程非常耗时，如果长期放置溢出物和污渍，其表面仍然很容易受到损害。而层压板厨房台面更耐冲击和水渍，这种仿制材料成为一种更实用的选择，适合各种设计方案。
The time-consuming sealing process for porous wooden worktops still leaves the surface susceptible to damage if spills and stains are left for long periods. Alternatively, laminate kitchen worktops are more resistant to impact and water, and the mimicking material is often a more functional option, suiting a wide variety of design schemes.
玻璃台面

虽然木质材料提供了舒适宜人或古朴迷人的烹饪环境，但自然光线不足的小型厨房可以从玻璃台面的反射性中受益。与其他表面相比，玻璃的无孔性、抗污性和无接缝特征十分优异，但要长期保持这种状态却很难，需要不断清洁以保持光洁。
While wood provides either cozy and inviting or rustically charming environments to cook in, smaller and naturally low-light kitchens can benefit from the reflective bounce of a glass worktop. Extremely non-porous, stain-resistant, and jointless, glass is ridiculously easy to clean compared to other surfaces, but far harder to keep that way long-term, with constant cleaning required to keep easy-to-spot watermarks at bay.
钢制台面

自然卫生、易于清洁、完全防水和耐热是不锈钢台面的优势，它使烹饪空间具有更高档次的外观特征。而在住宅环境中，可以用其他地方的软性材料来调和冰冷的外观。容易成型的钢制台面可以没有接缝地延续到水槽和排水板处，但新鲜闪亮的钢制表面却容易被刮花磨损。
Naturally hygienic and easy to clean, completely waterproof and heat resistant, the commercial advantages of stainless steel worktops give cookspaces that high-grade kitchen look. In a residential setting, however, it’s a good idea to tone down the look with softer materials elsewhere in the palette. Easily molded steel worktops, however, can continue into sinks and draining boards without joints, while the easy-to-scratch material gives a certain character that freshly shined steel surfaces miss.
人造石台面

可丽耐人造石表面是以液体形式浇筑的，因此无孔和防污的台面可以与水槽无缝接合，有很多颜色可供选择。同时，混凝土的工业外观十分亮眼，但选择这种材料作为厨房的台面需要做出很多牺牲。这种沉重、多孔的材料容易弄脏，难以清洁，结构上虽然耐用，但不耐刮，同时安装复杂，所以可以在设计之初选择成套安装。人造石具有陶瓷的耐用性、卫生性和功能属性，是实用的台面材料之一，但质地看起来却像混凝土。
Corian Solid Surface is poured as liquid, so the non-porous and stain-resistant worktop can mold seamlessly into sinks and splash back, with any possible color available. Concrete’s stripped-back industrial look, meanwhile, is extremely fashionable right now, but choosing the material for a kitchen worktop demands plenty of sacrifices. The heavy, porous material is easy to stain and hard to clean, plenty structurally durable but not especially scratch resistant, and difficult to fit. A good alternative is next125’s NX 950 fitted kitchen. With all the durability, hygiene, and functional attributes of ceramic, itself one of the most functional worktop materials, but is made to look like concrete.
