The result is a surface unaffected by stains, acids and even strong detergents, and which a knife does not scratch in normal use. To be honest: the edges and corners are sensitive to a sharp impact, so a cast-iron pot is set down on the worktop, not dropped. You can weigh up the strengths of the materials at your leisure in the guide <a href=\"https:\/\/stoneks.fi\/en\/choose-worktop\/\">choose the right worktop<\/a>.<\/p><p>There are four main lines of looks: <a href=\"https:\/\/stoneks.fi\/en\/dekton-worktops\/\">Dekton&#8217;s<\/a> and Atlas Plan&#8217;s marble imitations, an even concrete look, patinated metal shades and stone surfaces reminiscent of granite \u2014 also from the manufacturers <a href=\"https:\/\/stoneks.fi\/en\/laminam-worktops\/\">Laminam<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/stoneks.fi\/en\/marazzi-worktops\/\">Marazzi<\/a> and Nuovo Corso. A large, thin and hard slab is the most demanding worktop material to machine, so the cutting order, corner radii and transport support are worked out in our factory in Estonia before the slab leaves for Finland. The same team laser-measures and installs, so responsibility does not change hands along the way.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/section> <section class=\"stx-section stx-picks\" style=\"padding-top:4px\"><div class=\"stx-wrap\"><h2 style=\"font-size:22px\">Picks from the range<\/h2><ul style=\"columns:2;column-gap:40px;margin:12px 0 0;padding-left:20px;line-height:2\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/stoneks.fi\/en\/product\/nuovo-corso-taj-mahal\/\">Nuovo Corso Taj Mahal<\/a> \u2014 from 243 \u20ac\/m\u00b2<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/stoneks.fi\/en\/product\/dekton-sirius\/\">Dekton Sirius<\/a> \u2014 from 145 \u20ac\/m\u00b2<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/stoneks.fi\/en\/product\/dekton-helena\/\">Dekton Helena<\/a> \u2014 from 411 \u20ac\/m\u00b2<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/stoneks.fi\/en\/?post_type=product&#038;p=16348\">Marazzi Capraia<\/a> \u2014 from 315 \u20ac\/m\u00b2<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/stoneks.fi\/en\/?post_type=product&#038;p=12415\">Dekton Awake<\/a> \u2014 from 651 \u20ac\/m\u00b2<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/stoneks.fi\/en\/product\/nuovo-corso-fior-di-bosco\/\">Nuovo Corso Fior di Bosco<\/a> \u2014 from 243 \u20ac\/m\u00b2<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/stoneks.fi\/en\/product\/dekton-entzo\/\">Dekton Entzo<\/a> \u2014 from 340 \u20ac\/m\u00b2<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/stoneks.fi\/en\/product\/nuovo-corso-bianco-namibia\/\">Nuovo Corso Bianco Namibia<\/a> \u2014 from 243 \u20ac\/m\u00b2<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/section><section class=\"stx-section stx-section-grey\" style=\"padding-top:28px\"><div class=\"stx-wrap\"><h2>All ceramic worktops in stock<\/h2><p class=\"stx-sub\">Narrow the search by colour, thickness and price range \u2014 the \u20ac\/m\u00b2 price is marked on every card.

Cutting sintered stone wears down diamond blades and takes more machine time than other materials, and a glued front edge adds handwork. The fixed quote is made after measuring \u2014 the factors are itemised on the page <a href=\"https:\/\/stoneks.fi\/en\/stone-countertop-prices\/\">stone worktop prices<\/a>.<\/p><\/details><details class=\"stxm-faq\"><summary>Does a ceramic worktop need maintenance?<\/summary><p>Hardly at all: the surface is wiped with water and a mild detergent, and when needed it withstands even stronger agents without damage. No sealing treatments are ever needed, and turmeric, wine or oil leave no mark on the surface. We recommend a chopping board to spare your knife edge \u2014 you will find the collected instructions on the page <a href=\"https:\/\/stoneks.fi\/en\/maintenace-and-cleaning\/\">care and cleaning<\/a>.<\/p><\/details><details class=\"stxm-faq\"><summary>How long does delivery of a ceramic worktop take?<\/summary><p>Delivery and installation in Finland \u2014 14 working days from drawing approval. Ceramic is not fitted on site, so all cut-outs and dimensions are locked in at laser measuring before cutting. Installation of an outdoor kitchen is timed according to the weather, and the installation date is agreed with you in advance.<\/p><\/details><details class=\"stxm-faq\"><summary>How does a ceramic worktop differ from quartz?<\/summary><p>Ceramic is thinner, withstands a hot pan directly on the surface and keeps its colour in the sun \u2014 which is why it also works outdoors. Quartz is a thicker indoor kitchen material, more impact-resistant at the edges and warmer to the touch. You will find a comparison between the materials in the guide <a href=\"https:\/\/stoneks.fi\/en\/choose-worktop\/\">choose the right worktop<\/a>.<\/p><\/details><details class=\"stxm-faq\"><summary>Does a ceramic surface scratch?<\/summary><p>Not in normal use \u2014 the sintered surface is harder than steel, so a knife leaves no mark on it. It is not completely scratch-proof, however: a material harder than the surface, such as a diamond or the rough ceramic base of a dish, can leave a mark, and on a polished surface marks show up more easily in certain light than on a matt one.<\/p><\/details><\/section> <\/div> <section class=\"stx-section\" style=\"padding-top:8px\"><div class=\"stx-wrap\"><div class=\"stx-cta-band\"><div><h2>Request a quote for a ceramic worktop<\/h2><p>Tell us which d\u00e9cor and manufacturer you are interested in, and we will calculate a quote for your project.
