Best Countertops, That aren’t Granite is your guide to the latest in kitchen counters, including wear and tear, design options, and more! Are you renovating your kitchen but are tired of the same old granite? Read on!
Granite has long been a popular choice for kitchen and bathroom countertops, but there are many other great options available that offer unique benefits and styles. These are my top five countertops that aren’t granite:
- Quartz: Quartz countertops are made from crushed quartz and resin, creating a durable and low-maintenance surface that’s resistant to scratches, stains, and heat. They come in a wide range of colors and patterns, including options that mimic the look of natural stone.
- Marble: Marble is a classic, but pricey, choice for countertops, prized for its luxurious look and feel. While it’s not as durable as other materials, homeowners love the character that develops over time.
- Butcher block: Butcher block countertops are made from solid wood, typically maple or oak, and offer a warm, natural look that’s perfect for rustic or farmhouse-style kitchens. These do require regular maintenance and can be damaged by water and heat, but they are very popular now.
- Concrete: Concrete countertops offer a modern, industrial look that’s highly customizable in terms of color, texture, and shape. They’re highly durable and resistant to heat, but can be prone to staining and require regular sealing.
- Stainless steel: Stainless steel countertops are sleek, hygienic, and perfect for contemporary kitchens. They’re resistant to heat, stains, and bacteria, but can be easily scratched.
Each of these five, whether more or less difficult to maintain, increase curb appeal. If you are thinking about selling on The Main Line, it is really an excellent time.
