If you’re planning on remodeling your bathroom, the countertop material you choose will impact the overall look of the room. You’ll also want to consider factors like cost and the level of maintenance required. To help you choose, here is an overview of the most popular bathroom countertop materials.

5 Countertops Suitable for a Bathroom Remodeling Project

1. Laminate

Laminate is an affordable material made from layers of plastic fixed to particleboard. You can choose from many different colors and designs, even surfaces that mimic other materials, such as wood, stone, or stainless steel. However, laminate is only moderately heat-resistant.

2. Tile

Tile is highly attractive and allows for creativity with its many styles and patterns. Ceramic and porcelain tiles are popular choices chosen for their appearance and resistance to moisture and scratching. Keep in mind tile countertops need more upkeep to maintain the cleanliness of their grout lines.

3. Solid Surface

Made from bonded particles of acrylic and polyester, solid surface countertops are designed to look like stone. The material is durable and low-maintenance, and scratches can be removed with sandpaper. Solid surface is around the middle of the price range for countertops.

4. Stone

Stone countertops add luxury to bathrooms, though there are inexpensive options such as slate and limestone. Granite is the most popular pick, and it’s heat-resistant so you won’t have to worry about burns from hair tools. Marble’s timeless elegance makes it a close second. Due to the natural patterns in the stones, no two surfaces ever look the same. But natural stones usually require sealing to protect against moisture.

5. Quartz

Quartz is a non-porous material, making it highly stain-resistant and easy to keep clean. Unlike many stone countertops, you won’t need to have the surface coated or resealed every few years. Quartz countertops can look like natural stone, but they offer more flexibility for colors and styles. Expect to pay more for this countertop’s convenience and visual appeal.
