Zinc kitchen countertops are present in many homes. The countertops are made in the same method as other metal countertops. However, there are some considerations that you might consider when selecting zinc for your kitchen countertops.

Zinc is relatively soft and can scratch easily. If you slide pots and pans around on your countertops, you will have a problem with scratching. The good news is that the scratches can be easily buffed out since the metal is reasonably soft. You can polish the surface monthly to maintain a high shine and luster on the countertops which will also remove any small scratches that may have accumulated.

Zinc countertops are easy to clean. You can simply use a mild soap and water to clean the countertops. There is no need for special cleaners or abrasives. The non-porous material will not stain easily. Make certain to dry the countertops well though to prevent any potential rust spots.

It is recommended that you use cutting boards and trivets when in a kitchen with zinc countertops. Zinc is safe for food products but sensitive to high temperatures. You do not want unsightly spots appearing from hot pans that were set on the countertop surface. For more articles on kitchen countertops check out www.kitchencountertoptypes.com.
