Home Improvement / January 23, 2019
One aspect of a kitchen remodel involves choosing the right countertop material. It should be a useful element for your various tasks like cooking and meal preparations while still blending with the whole kitchen’s aesthetic.
Read on as Handyman Connection® of Winter Park, your home improvement specialists, shares some of the best kitchen countertop materials for your kitchen remodeling project.
Natural Stone
Countertop materials made from natural stone vary. Granite, for one, is a classic choice and one of the most beautiful, durable, versatile and eco-friendly materials. Highly resistant to scratches and heat damage, granite comes in a wide array of colors and features a unique look that’s the only one of its kind. Slate, meanwhile, offers a more high-end appearance despite having few color selections. It is a non-porous, low-maintenance countertop material with a naturally soft, matte sheen.
Laminate
This countertop material provides a long-lasting investment for homeowners. It is a durable, hard-wearing countertop that can survive years of use in the busiest and toughest kitchens. It also doesn’t require much upkeep—a soapy washcloth is enough to clean the surface. With hundreds of colors, patterns and textures, you can easily find one that matches your kitchen interior.
Concrete
Today’s concrete countertops are precast, fully cured and finished before installation. They’re different from the traditional units, which used to be poured on top of cabinets but were left with deficient seals and curled corners. Simple and beautiful, concrete countertops continue to increase in popularity since they’re available in smooth configurations.
Recycled Glass
Recycled glass countertops are composed of glass shards scattered across a smooth, flat surface. Large glass bits offer a fun, contemporary look while finer ones make the countertop look less busy. They are a great choice as well because of their resistance to stains, heat and scratches.
