What Worktop Is Best for Your Space? A Room-by-Room Guide
Choosing the right worktop is not just about appearance — it’s about selecting a surface that suits how the space will be used. Different rooms place different demands on a worktop, and understanding these requirements can help you make a confident, long-lasting choice.
Here at Andrews Tiles, we supply and install worktops for a wide range of applications, helping customers choose materials that balance practicality, durability and design.
