Choose the countertop that your kitchen really needs

Furniture, walls, flooring, appliances... There are many factors to consider when designing your new kitchen or remodeling project.

But if there's one fundamental element, truly decisive for the functionality of this space, it's undoubtedly the kitchen countertop. Choosing it is one of the most important decisions in the remodeling process and will also be the key to enjoying a kitchen that meets your needs, as long as... you've chosen the right countertop!

There are multiple options with aesthetic finishes, full of color and perfect for any decorative style, but the countertop is not just an ornament that elevates the design of your kitchen. It's one of the most functional and most used parts, not only of the entire kitchen but of the entire home. That's why we believe it's crucial that, before choosing the countertop that will be with you for years to come, you stop, think, and reflect on what and who will use that surface in their daily lives.

Can you already imagine chopping the ingredients for your favorite recipe on it? Resting wine glasses on it at a get-together with friends? Or, on the contrary, are you planning how much time you'll spend on it helping the kids with their homework or doing crafts? Few things are more "multipurpose" than the countertop, so we want to help you choose the one your kitchen truly needs, based on the life you want to live in it.

A haven of peace

Do you want your kitchen to become your personal space? A place where you can relax while preparing a simple snack or read a few pages of your favorite novel while sipping a cup of coffee? Then the CUBRO linoleum countertop is definitely what you're looking for.

This sustainable material, made with cork powder, linseed oil, and pine resin, has a surprising ability to absorb noise. You can forget the annoying "clink-clink" of plates or cutlery hitting the countertop and enjoy the silence while you're in your kitchen.

Plus, it's perfect for those looking for custom designs, as you can choose from no less than 8 original CUBRO LINOLEUM finishes.

The soul of the house

From the first coffee at breakfast to the glass of water at night, the kitchen is where you and your family begin and end each day. You should consider the number of hours and ways your countertop will be used, and we warn you, there will be an infinite number of uses!

That's why you need a countertop that's resistant to daily use, food and liquid stains, and the occasional marker or tempera paint that might slip off your little ones' "works of art." It should also be affordable and offer a wide variety of finishes so you can find the one that truly suits your style and tastes.

Many "must-haves" can be found in CUBRO's LAMINATE countertops, with more than 16 colors to choose from. Laminate is a composite made from multiple layers of plant-based material bonded together under pressure, giving it great strength and durability and the added benefit of being able to repair minor surface damage.

Essential features that, combined with its ease of cleaning (you'll only need a quick wipe with a cloth and non-abrasive cleaner), make it the perfect material for a countertop suitable for the whole family!

Your meeting point

If you're someone who likes to be surrounded by guests while preparing dinner, get together with friends for an impromptu snack without leaving the kitchen, or show off a distinguished kitchen with its own style, a porcelain countertop will be the perfect choice!

Elegant and functional, this quartzite and resin material is highly resistant to stains and heat. It's also very easy to clean, making your porcelain countertop a must-have for making your kitchen a versatile and modern space where you can enjoy time with your loved ones.

The “house chef” corner

Are you a keen cook? Do you spend hours experimenting with new flavors and ingredients to wow your guests with your recipes? Then you need a scratch-resistant surface that lets your kitchen utensils roll safely and can withstand the heat of pans, pots, or saucepans fresh off the stove.

Natural stone countertops are perfect for kitchens where real cooking is done. Although they require specific care, such as cleaning with pH-neutral detergents, their strength and durability are incomparable to other materials. While their price is significantly higher, they are a good long-term investment because we guarantee you'll have a countertop... for life!
