A countertop is an elevated platform with a flat surface, and is often constructed across kitchens, bathrooms, and laboratories. The countertops are recognized as workstations, kitchen benches, or bench-tops, in some regions depending on the region's linguistics. The usefulness of countertops is justified by the fact that these platforms are necessarily constructed across modern kitchens, luxury bathrooms, and state-of-the-art labs. Besides, countertops are multi-purpose platforms with a wide variety of uses and this factor has made these tops hugely popular. Countertops have evolved from basic concrete platforms to multi-purpose platforms that can be fitted over cabinets and other low-height furniture. The global countertop market is projected to earn massive revenues in the years ahead due to the expansive utility served by countertops.
