Madera.- A diferencia de las cubiertas en otros muebles, las de uso en cocinas están sujetas constantemente a humedades, temperaturas y degaste, además de que deben ser higiénicas. La madera no obstante su belleza es una muy pobre elección para uso en las cocinas, por ello es que han sido sustituidas por otros materiales como resinas plásticas, granitos, cuarzos, etc. El alto costo en elaborar una cubierta en maderas duras y tratadas para evitar distorsiones por efecto de cambios en temperatura y de humedad, las hace una opción poco durable y de alto mantenimiento por lo que no resultan recomendables como cubiertas.
Wood.- Unlike tops for other kinds of furniture, those for kitchens are constantly exposed to humidity, high temperatures, wear down, odors and pests. Wood has a poor performance in kitchen tops so it has been replaced with more suitable materials like plastic resins, granites, quartzes, etc. No matter the cost of high quality hard wood and its processing to preserve it, wood countertops are by far less durable and require higher maintenance than other options; hence they are not a good choice for kitchen counter tops.
