A Look at Popular Countertop Materials

The kitchen is a central space in any home. When you work with custom homebuilders to create a personalized residence, you will have the opportunity to pick out your favorite kitchen finishes. Your countertop materials will dramatically transform the look and functionality of your new kitchen space. Let’s review some popular countertop materials that are available for your kitchen.

Granite

Granite is among the most popular countertop materials that is used in today’s homes. This premium product is chosen for its natural good looks, as well as its durability over time. When you are selecting your granite countertops, you will be able to choose from a vibrant rainbow of colors and stone patterns that will pair perfectly with the other design elements in your kitchen. With proper sealing and maintenance, granite countertops will last a lifetime.

Quartz

When you are seeking a natural material that is easy to maintain, you may want to choose quartz counters. Unlike granite countertops, which are crafted from natural slabs, quartz countertops are engineered using special manufacturing processes. The methods that are used to create quartz countertops allow these counters to offer superior stain resistance and easy cleanup.

Soapstone

If you are interested in a countertop that will add warmth and softness to your kitchen, you may want to consider a soapstone countertop installation. Soapstone counters are softer to the touch than either granite or quartz counters, and any stains or imperfections can be gently sanded out of the soapstone’s surface. Since soapstone is heat resistant, you can also place pots and pans directly on your soapstone counters.
