Bathroom countertops get a lot of daily use. When they aren’t the landing place of curling irons and hair brushes, they hold medicine and hand soap. As such, when you update them, you want to choose options that are beautiful but also durable and long-lasting. If you’re about to upgrade this part, here are four answers to frequently asked questions on the topic. 

Common Concerns About Updating Countertops 

Which material is the most durable? 

Though natural stone countertops were traditionally relied upon for their strength, quartz is now the gold standard for durability. In addition to resisting staining, chipping, and cracking, the material is heat-resistant and available in a range of different colors and patterns. Further, it isn’t porous like its granite cousin, making it easier to keep clean. 

How should I maintain the counters?

What does the installation involve? 

The process depends on your current setup. Existing countertops will need to be removed before installing new ones. Laminate options that are in-stock can take as little as a few days, while custom stone items can require up to four months to measure and put into place. 

Will I be able to see the seams? 

If you have a large counter area that requires more than one slab of material, the setup may need a seam somewhere in the surface. However, professionals will put them in less visible places to ensure the bathroom looks its best.
