Types of Kitchen Countertops

Option #1: Laminate

Of course, choosing kitchen countertops made of laminate would be the very basic. Laminate countertops do not cost very much money and they can be available in a number of different colors. Laminate is easy to clean but can easily be damaged by heat and scratches. Choosing laminate may be a good option if you just want something basic.

Option #2: Solid Surfaces

Choosing kitchen countertops made of solid surface material is a good option if you want something that looks luxurious but is not as costly. Solid surface kitchen countertops are made from a type of acrylic mixed with stone to give a stain resistant and colorful option. The downside is that solid surface countertops are not heat resistant.

Option #3: Stone

Stone is one of the most favored types of kitchen countertops in luxury kitchens. Stone counters are available in a number of natural looks. The stone is quarried and cut from such materials as granite, soapstone, marble, lava stone, etc. Choosing kitchen countertops made of stone will be unique and no one else will have the same piece of stone. Stone counters are also resistant to heat, but not scratch resistant.
