Tile Bench tops
This is an unusual benchtop choice, but a great one. You can create interesting patterns and textures by being clever about the tile formats used, and the way they are laid. Tiles can also give you a ‘seamless’ finish, as there are multiple edges to break up the surface of the top.
PROS: If you don’t have a straight substrate (the layer below the tiles), there’s a chance that your tiling can be uneven. This can be a charming attribute, but might prove difficult if you’re trying to cut those cookies on the benchtop!
CONS: Although tough against heat and general wear and tear, tiles can be tricky to clean, as the grout between the tiles are a potential spot for getting food stuck. If you’re looking for tiles, go for larger format tiles with glazed surfaces – the less grout you need, the easier they will be to clean.
WHO DOES IT WORK FOR?
I like the texture that a tiled surface can bring to a kitchen. This option is also quite cost effective and one that avid DIYers can try themselves at home.

Thanks so much for coming back to me. The available space would be around 650cm long and 900 cm wife on each window. Do you think that would create the shadow affect? How would I map it out?
You would be able to map out where they would go in the roof but it will be hard to map the shadow as I am not sure where the sun sets and rises in your location. You could make a simple wooden frame work and sit it up in the garden to get the idea of where the sun would hit.
Sorry I can't be more help!
