Countertop Materials
There are a wide range of materials available for countertops, including natural and synthetic options. They vary by price point, utility and style. Here’s a comparison of the most common types
Buying Considerations
Here are some additional factors to think about when choosing a countertop for your kitchen or bathroom.
Location | Consider location when weighing your options. Bathroom countertops are typically light duty compared to kitchen counters. Durability, as well as scratch and heat resistance, is of greater importance in a space filled with activity and hot cookware. |
Budget | Countertops run the gamut from budget to big bucks. Consider how long you plan to stay in your home when determining your project budget |
Sink | Your countertop is an anchor for your sink, so be sure to consider what type of sink you want when countertop shopping. Whether you prefer an undermount, integral, apron-front or drop-in sink, make sure the countertop is compatible with this style |
Style | Finally, consider aesthetics. The material and finished style you choose can either complement the existing décor or provide a fresh new look that changes the room completely |
Edge Profiles
While the top is the most visible countertop surface, the edge profile or end cap of a countertop also contributes to the design aesthetic. Consider these options when making a decision.
