There are several types:

Laminates are chipboard with a plastic surface attached. Cheap, durable and resistant to stains, but can be damaged by heat. Can be made is most colours, some even use photos so simulate natural materials.

Solid Surface worktops are a form of reconstituted stone, usually on a chipboard base. Harder to cut, they have good looks and feel, good heat and liquids resistance.

Real wood has the deep glow of a natural material, but needs care to prevent staining, damage or rot. Generally needs treated regularly.

Real stone such as marble, granite or slate is a very durable, heat resistant surface, but some types can stain, so need to be sealed. It is also very expensive to both buy and fit as it is hard to cut.
