If you’re in the market for kitchen countertops for your new home or remodeling project, there are numerous options to choose from.

Kitchen Countertops: 3 Materials to Consider

1. Laminate

Thanks to laminate, you don’t have to spend a fortune to be on trend. Laminate kitchen countertops are sourced from paper and hardened with resins, not plastic, which makes them an eco-friendly option. The material can be easily cleaned with a soapy sponge and lasts between 10 and 20 years when well-maintained. The material is available in a wide range of colors and designs and it’s easy to install and replace.

2. Granite

Granite countertops often last a lifetime and can be installed in polished or matte finishes, but must be sealed to prevent staining. Because the material is sealed, it is nonporous which means it’s resistant to bacteria and dirt. The smooth surface also makes it easier to clean up spills and messes.

3. Quartz

Quartz countertops are also called engineered stone because the material is man-made. It’s attractive, durable, and non-porous which makes it resistant to dirt, bacteria, and stains, like granite. The man-made stone is available in a range of colors, and the finish has an amazing depth and natural luster that’s unlike other kitchen countertop materials. It’s low maintenance and easy to clean, which makes it a great addition in any luxury kitchen.
