Popular Countertops You Should Consider for Your Kitchen Remodel
Countertops are more than just the kitchen’s workhorse; they also bring your kitchen’s design and aesthetic together. They need to be attractive, useful, and robust.
There are popular countertops you should take into consideration when planning your kitchen home remodeling if you’re ready to coordinate cabinetry and countertops. (Note: These are popular because of durability, function, and style. Pricing will vary based on availability and fabrication costs.)
Quartz
Quartz surfacing is currently the most preferred option for kitchen counters among homeowners due to its many benefits. It doesn’t require sealing and its seams are exceptionally well-integrated. It is heat, scratch, and stain resistant and simple to clean. Quartz is produced by joining quartz crystals with a resin-based material, making it durable and offering an almost limitless array of colors and designs.
Granite
Each slab of granite is unique since it is a slab of stone that has been carved from the earth. It requires a little bit more upkeep and is more permeable than quartz. Granite countertops come in three different finishes: polished, which is bright; honed, which is matte; and specialty finishes, such flamed or leather. Granite has a lot of options for colors and finishes, which greatly enhances design flexibility.
Marble
A stone selection warehouse has 2 cm (3/4″) and 3 cm (1-1/4″) thick slabs of this natural stone countertop for sale. Marble provides a stunning, classic appearance when used as a counter surface. It has long been a favorite stone for use in construction. However, we must inform you that marble is more porous and softer than granite. It is prone to scratches and stains. Even if you could argue that it is more of a “living” finish, make sure you’re prepared to “live” with it. Nevertheless, marble is used in some of the prettiest countertop installations.
Porcelain
Would it surprise you to learn that porcelain sales are increasing? Kitchen surfaces are starting to follow this trend! Countertops made of porcelain slabs have substantially improved, although not being entirely new. Porcelain is attractive, strong, and requires little upkeep. Porcelain countertops are approved for outdoor use, in contrast to solid surface and engineered stone countertops.
