Kitchen Island With Two Different Countertop Materials. FENIX innovative surfaces are extremely opaque, soft touch and anti-fingerprint. By contrast, perimeter countertops—like granite, quartz, or butcher block—are more hardworking for the everyday.
Contrasting countertops look bold, of course, but you wanna add more interest to the kitchen, we strongly recommend to make them of a different material, too. Mixing and matching kitchen cabinet doors is a big trend, and now we're seeing a marrying of materials in countertops too. Each material has its positive and negative features.

The old standard in kitchen countertops was all the surfaces in your kitchen needed to match — your perimeter counters, island and everything in between.
Happily, there are lots of options in a wide range of prices. Concrete mixes well with many different materials, such as glass, tile and marble to create a one-of-a-kind look. Therefore, you need to ensure your ultimate comfort during cooking by choosing the right countertop.
