Budget worktops when you're spending a small fortune on a kitchen...

We are about to start a large extension with a new kitchen. We have picked a lovely white kitchen and had decided on either granite or solid wood worktops. However, the prices are just astronomical- we could change our car for the price of granite!! Laminate worktops are fine but could look a bit unfinished when we've splashed out on the kitchen itself.

Are there any options other than granite or wood that have the wow factor?Even a laminate that looks really impressive?

Or can anyone recommend somewhere to buy granite/wood that doesn't break the bank?

Any advice or help would be much appreciated Smile

Perhaps a better photo of the worktop.

Budget cupboards are a waste of money IMO, unless you are doing the whole kitchen on the cheap. I wouldn't bother putting an expensive worktop on a cheap carcass, as it will have to be replaced when you upgrade the carcass.
