When
it’s time to replace
a kitchen countertop,
there’s no single perfect answer. Above all else, a countertop
needs to reflect the homeowner’s personal style, and there can be
dozens of options for that. Laminate countertops are a very popular
choice in U.S. homes, however there are plenty of durable and
attractive countertop choices, each with its own set of advantages,
quirks and design possibilities.
Stone
The
most popular stone countertops are granite and marble. Granite, an
exceptionally dense material, is arguably the most durable option for
a stone countertop. Marbles are more porous and acids like juices or
vinegar can etch the surface over time, but a lot of people actually
like its etched look.
Recycled
material
Environmentally-conscious
homeowners prefer kitchen countertops made of sustainable and
recyclable materials. For these homeowners, countertops made from a
combination of concrete and colored glass chips are a popular choice.
Stainless
Steel
Stainless
steel is one of the toughest countertop materials available, and it
won’t rust or stain. All you have to do is scour it and it will
look just like new even after decades have passed.
Wood
Wood
remains a popular countertop option for those who want a warm
material for their kitchen remodeling project. There are dozens of
options that run the gamut from ordinary to exotic. For a dark look,
try the jatoba from Brazil. For a soft appearance, consider
butternut.
