Types of Kitchen Countertops

When it comes to deciding what types of kitchen countertops is best for your home, it is best to make an informed decision. There are so many kinds to choose from that it can get quite confusing but if you know what you are looking for, it will be easier to narrow down your choices.
​
Here are 5 of the most popular choices of kitchen countertops in American homes:

• Marble Countertops has always been the top choice when luxurious is what you are aiming for. It may be on the more expensive range but is worth every penny as it can last a lifetime while maintaining its beauty and durability.
• Granite Countertops is the go-to countertops for those who want marble but can’t afford it. Granite comes in different colors and can be as classy and elegant as marble. It does need proper maintenance to avoid stains and scratches.
• Quartz Countertops are engineered stone especially designed to be tough and durable. It comes in a wider range of colors and is scratch resistant. One of its best characteristics is that it requires minimal maintenance as it does not require sealing like natural stones.
• Stainless Steel countertops would be a good option if you’re going for a more industrial look. They can be constructed and fabricated as per your personal specifications. They are heat resistant but can dent and be noisy.
• Wood countertops can give a gorgeous warm and homey feel to your kitchen. Hardwood is usually a favorite like maple or oak. Unfortunately, these can stain over time and may be damaged by liquids.

​
​Remember that your countertop will be in your home for years. This is why it is advised to pick a kind that will last a long time and will still look good even after much usage. Also, the type of kitchen countertop you choose may be a factor in your home’s value moving forward.
