There are differences among the 3 major types of kitchen islands, and it all really depends on the look you're going for with your home improvement project. You can chose to go with a built in kitchen island, which will be a permanent fixture in your kitchen. You will have to dig up the floor and install this kind of kitchen island, and the styles are endless with custom kitchen island specialists. You can choose the type of material you want for your island counter top, choosing from wood, stone, stainless steel, or tile. Then there is the much less messy kind of kitchen upgrade on wheels, the mobile kitchen island or kitchen cart. These kitchen islands come on wheels, which makes it easy to put it wherever you need it, but sometimes they can lack the solidarity of a stationary kitchen island. The last major type of kitchen island is the butcher block. Originally used in butcher shops only, the butcher block became popular with it's accessible and durable cutting surface and easyclean perks. Butcher blocks can be stationary or rolling kitchen islands, but there surface is what makes them special. A butcher block has a surface made of special hardwood glued tightly together to form a very strong and easy to clean surface for food preparation.
