Kitchen Counter Tops
Everybody will usually have a picture in their minds of what their ideal kitchen would look like. Then the time comes to actually flesh out those ideas and you get stuck at deciding what counter top is it that you see in your mind.
Granite is the most popular but most expensive counter top. A granite counter top is beautiful, very resistant to heat and scratches. It is solid rock so you can expect a granite counter top to last a very long time. The only decision is whether to have it installed as a single slab counter top or multiple granite tiles counter top.
Other natural stone also make good counter tops. Depending on patterns and colors, you have a wide choice of stone counter tops. A marble counter top is cool and smooth but requires some maintenance to keep it from staining. Slate is quite durable and comes with an interesting surface that could complement your kitchen design. Natural quartz looks quite similar to slate but is more stain and scratch resistant.
Tiling is another popular way to setup your kitchen counter top. The color, stain & scratch resistance all depends on the quality of tiles that you choose. Be mindful of the grouts though as this space between the tiles are the weak link when it comes to maintaining the cleanliness of your kitchen counter top. You can be a bit artistic and buy various sized and colored tiles to design a fashionable counter top too.
Concrete is another counter top option. It is heat resistant and can be polished to resemble a smooth stone counter top. Concrete is quite porous though so a sealing agent needs to be applied to it. The sealer will need to be waxed every so often to keep it in shape.
If you don’t really mind the industrial look, the stainless steel kitchen counter top offers a good low maintenance option. The surface is easy to clean and is quite heat resistant. Keep in mind that stainless steel counter tops can dent and could cost quite a bit to fabricate.
Wood counter tops are quite fashionable. Wood provides a feeling of warmth in your kitchen. Most hardwoods make good counter tops so choose one that complements your color scheme. Wood counter tops need a lot of tender loving care to keep them in good shape.
