A kitchen remodeling project is a great way to customize a space and boost home value. If you want to transform your kitchen, try changing your countertops. If you need help choosing a new material, consider the most popular options below. 

What Are the Best Kitchen Countertop Materials?

1. Granite

Granite countertops are a timeless favorite that many contractors recommend for kitchen remodeling projects. They’re one of the most durable options, resistant to scratches and burns. They can also support large amounts of weight, making them perfect for holding pots and appliances. Sealed granite creates a smooth, sterile surface that’s easy to clean and resistant to staining. Overall, granite is a versatile material available in many shapes and colors.

2. Quartz

Quartz countertops share many advantages with granite, such as heat and scratch resistance. While not as strong, they’re perfect for cutting and chopping or resting hot pans temporarily. Sealed quartz can deter liquids well similarly to granite. Quartz also comes in a wide selection of natural patterns. Unlike other materials, it isn’t as easy to repair so consider what stress you’d put it under before choosing it.

3. Soapstone

If you want to upgrade to an elegant material, soapstone is a time-tested favorite. A non-porous stone, it has superior stain resistance, which makes it highly resistant to bacteria and easy to clean. It is more susceptible to damage, however, and can be difficult to repair. If you’re looking to take your kitchen remodeling project to the next level, consider soapstone for its natural beauty, which is comparable to marble.
