How to Choose the Right Countertops for Your Kitchen
If you are looking for a way to enhance the look of your kitchen, a good place to start is changing your countertops! From quartzite to marble, there are a number of choices out there that can make choosing the right countertop for your kitchen an overwhelming process. Fortunately, we have some helpful tips and considerations to help get you started!
3 Considerations to keep in mind before selecting your countertops
Cleaning
If you have a busy household, one important consideration is whether or not the stone you select is easy to clean and low maintenance. For example, quartz countertops are an impenetrable material that can tolerate more spills than other material options.
Durability
The last thing you want when you invest in new countertops is for scratches and chips to occur. Functionality is a very practical feature that countertops should have and having a scratch-resistant and heat-resistant stone can be a very important characteristic.
Price
Home renovations can become expensive quickly and a lot of the time price is a huge deciding factor in choosing new countertops. When beginning to look for new countertops, it is important to decide on a budget.
Now that you have some important considerations to keep in mind, here are some of the best stone materials to choose from!
Granite
Granite is a sought-after choice for those looking for natural stone countertops. Not only is it one of the hardest and most durable materials in the world, but each slab is completely unique from one another!
Quartz
Quartz countertops come in an extensive range of colours and patterns and have the same look and feel as natural stone! Unlike granite, quartz can be manufactured to have a uniform appearance. This uniformity makes repairs much easier.
Marble
Marble countertops are known for their timeless and luxurious appearance and pairs well with any decor. This natural stone is softer than granite and can be cut in a variety of edge profiles.
