The area of the kitchen that is subjected to the most stress is the worktop. It needs to be as resistant as possible to pressure, impact, acid and heat, and yet still be easy and quick to clean. The stainless steel worktop from bulthaup satisfies all these criteria in a truly ideal way. The joint-free stainless steel is 2 mm thick on the surface and at the edge. Even though the top is just 10 mm thick in total, it can nonetheless withstand even extreme stresses. And time helps accentuate its aesthetic appeal. The stainless steel surfaces are given a fine patina the more they are used.

Also typical of bulthaup are the edge designs on work surfaces with laminate tops. The jointless edges form a long-lasting seal against humidity and create a stunning visual impression. The use of an elastic adhesive allows for the expansion of all the materials used, stops all traces of moisture from penetrating the seal and ensures a long-lasting bond. bulthaup is unveiling a premiere with its just 10 mm thick synthetic stone worktop. Normally, a worktop this thin would shatter immediately on use. But the bulthaup synthetic stone worktop, despite its minimal thickness, can withstand the stresses it is subjected to in everyday kitchen use because a specially-developed construction made from metal and synthetic layers absorbs the forces acting upon it. Traces of use give the surface of the matt-polished synthetic stone a beatiful patina.
