Your countertops are one of the most-used surfaces in your home. In addition to being a place for you to store and rest items, they’re also the focal point of a room. So, if you’re looking to update a space, a custom countertop is a solid place to start. Here are some of the best materials to use for a countertop renovation.

3 of the Best Materials for Your Custom Countertop

1. Ceramic

A ceramic tile countertop adds flair and style to your home. It can be used for everything from backsplashes to islands and bars. It’s higher maintenance than other materials, but it’s also mold-resistant and incredibly durable. The important thing to remember with ceramic tile is to only install those that are specifically for floors or countertops. If you use a thinner material, designated for a wall, they’ll likely crack more easily. 

2. Granite

Granite is the most popular countertop material used. It used to be the highly coveted material because it was pricier, but the cost of it has since become more affordable due to its popularity and accessibility. The extensive range of colors and extreme durability make it a showstopper in any home. 

3. Soapstone

Soapstone typically requires a sealant to protect it from stains, but it’s bacteria-resistant and is considered more valuable to potential homebuyers. While not as durable as granite, it won’t crack from stress or weight. Each piece of soapstone is different, but the slab colors are either dark green and black or light green and gray.
