If you’re planning a bathroom remodeling project, replacing your countertop will make a big difference to both the look and function of the new design. A number of different countertop options are attractive, easy to clean, and perfect for your home. Here are a few of the most popular options, and a breakdown of their benefits.

3 Popular Types of Bathroom Countertops

1. Laminate

While in the past, laminate may have been a somewhat unattractive option, today’s countertops are much more carefully designed and manufactured. Binding a plastic surface to a particleboard body creates an inexpensive bathroom remodeling material while simulating the look and feel of wood, metal, stone, and any other option.

2. Acrylic Solid-Surface

For a durable and stain-resistant countertop, solid-surface materials are one of the best options. They usually come in colors and styles that mimic stone, and can be manufactured with built-in sinks and other features. This material provides the look of stone without the price, and will last for many years even under heavy use.

3. Natural Stone

This is the high-end option for bathroom remodeling. A granite, marble, or quartz countertop brings all the character and beauty of natural stone to your bathroom, along with the durability provided by modern sealing and treating options. Stone may still be more delicate than other countertop options, but it makes up for this with an increase in aesthetics and home value.
