Should you buy FENIX worktops?
When you are buying a new kitchen, most attention tends to be on the style and finish of the cabinets. However, it’s just as crucial to pick the right worktops to go with them. FENIX worktops have a good reputation, but do they live up to it?
Reasons to buy FENIX worktops:
Durability
Kitchen worktops come in for a good deal of battering with use, and they are particularly at risk of scratching. Compared with most other materials, FENIX worktops are highly resistant to scratching. This means they should last longer than average before they need to be replaced.
Stain resistant
They are also non porous, so they do not absorb liquids. This means that spillages will remain on the surface to be wiped up and should not stain the worktop. This is not just a matter of look, though. It also means that the surface can be thoroughly cleaned, making it much more hygienic than most worktops.
Finish
Besides the practical advantages, you want your kitchen worktops to be pleasant, both to the eyes and to the fingers. FENIX worktops have a silky-smooth finish, which will be a pleasure to work on.
Seamless look
Ideally, you’ll want your worktops to match with your units. However, this is not usually possible with laminate, quartz or granite worktops. However, this is possible with FENIX.
If you buy a German or Italian kitchen, you can often buy FENIX kitchens. Therefore, you can buy FENIX worktops to match the kitchen perfectly. Below is a picture of an Italian FENIX kitchen with FENIX worktops.
Reasons not to buy them:
Less scratch resistant than laminate worktops
Compared with basic materials, FENIX worktops hold up well in terms of scratch resistance. However, it’s not the best you can get. High-quality laminate worktops will often resist scratches better.
Cost
Unfortunately, they cost a a lot more than similar laminate worktops.
Limited colour choice
Not everyone buying a new kitchen is particular about the colour, but the chances are they will have a clear idea. The problem is that, whereas laminate worktops come in hundreds of colours, the choice for FENIX worktops is more limited.
This means that you may have to settle for a colour that is not exactly what you wanted.
