Choosing the Right Countertop Material

When thinking about replacing or installing a new kitchen countertop or kitchen island there are many material options for you to consider. Answering a few simple questions about what you like and how the countertop will be used, will simplify your decision making process.

Would you prefer a smooth or textured finish?
Are you interested in a natural stone material or something that is man made?
Is installing a recycled material – even if it costs more – something of interest to you?
When you think about colors, do you prefer a consistent look or are you more interested in a material that has movement, veins and patterns throughout?
Do you normally use a cutting board or would you like to be able to cut and chop foods directly on top of the countertop?
Are you a baker, looking for a surface where you can roll out dough or temper chocolate?
Do you want to be able to take a hot pot off of the stove and place it directly onto the countertop?
If staining is a concern, are you OK with sealing your countertop every 12 – 24 months?
