Choosing the right countertop material
Quartz. Granite. Quartzite. Solid Surface. What's the right choice for you?
That depends on a variety of factors, including:
- Does your application require a surface that stands up to stains? Different materials offer varying degrees of stain resistance.
- How much ongoing maintenance are you willing to take on? Natural surfaces are more porous and require some maintenance, while some materials are virtually maintenance-free.
- What kinds of color and style choices do you need for your design? Some materials offer a wide variety of colors and patterns while others are more limited.
- How durable does your countertop need to be? Some materials hold up to the demands of heavy use better than others.
- What is your budget? The costs of material, fabrication and installation make some materials more affordable than others.
