Applications of slate worktops in kitchens

Should I get slate or concrete worktops?
Several vital characteristics make each stand out when evaluating slate and concrete worktops. Green slate boasts low maintenance, heat resistance, and natural aesthetics, while concrete offers design flexibility.

Durability: Both materials are durable and heat-resistant, with slate suitable for kitchen use.
Colour and Design Options: Concrete provides a wide range of customizable colours, while slate offers natural variations with a more limited colour selection.
