For most of the homeowners in the United States of America, the kitchen is one of the most important parts of the house. This area is built specifically for you to have a place in which you could create, prepare and cook your food. However, with all the functionality and usefulness said, cooking and food preparation is not the only function that the kitchen serves. The kitchen is also the place in which you would talk about everything and anything under the sun together with your friends, your family, your colleagues and even your guests. The kitchen even serves as a place in which kids would run around together with the babysitters or their parents while they are gossiping around and chatting about the latest buzz in show business. This is definitely true because I myself had lots of memories, childhood memories, to be exact, in the kitchen.

Manmade materials include laminates, Corian, tile, and concrete. Laminates are inexpensive and durable, though they can be scratched or burnt relatively easily. Corian countertops are extremely durable, more costly, and are an attempt to mimic a natural stone look for a more affordable price. Tile has been used for centuries and is popular choice in Europe and South American kitchen designs. If one tile is damaged it can be removed and replaced without having to replace the whole countertop.
