When it comes to counterops, there are a variety of materials you can choose from. They all differ in looks, durability and, of course, price.
Finding The Right Material
Quartz
Quarts is currently one of the most durable kitchen countertop materials. It is rather expensive, but pretty much indestructible. However, edges can chip and you’ll need to hire a professional to repair them. The material which is a combination of mineral, color and raisin comes in a variety of colors.
Granite
Granite is very a tough material which is very heat resistant. It also can chip and then needs to be repaired professionally. Oil can seep into the countertop if it is not sealed properly. The material is a natural stone, so your countertop may not look exactly like the sample and seams sometimes can be hard to hide.
Soapstone, Limestone, and Marble
Soapstone is very resistant to heat damage. Small scratches can be repaired by sanding. Limestone has a natural-stone look and it’s also resists heat. Soapstone chips and scratches easily. Limestone and marble share those features and heat can damage marble.
Tile
Tiles come in a wide variety of colors and styles which means you can completely customize the look. The material is tough, heat resistant and easy to clean. Ceramic tiles aren’t very expensive, but tiles can crack if something heavy drops on them. A broken tile needs to be taken out and replaced.
