Countertop

You need to consider a lot of factors while deciding on the suitable and the best countertops to use, whether they are for your bathroom or kitchen. The type of material for your countertop is one of the vital factors you need to decide. From the luxuriousness of marble to the elegance of granite, there are several choices available on the market. To help you select the right countertop, you should learn the facts about the different types of countertops you can possibly choose: 

• 

Granite 

This material is probably the most prevalent stone type available in the market. Granite can resist heat, durable, and strong.  It becomes practically maintenance-free the moment it is sealed. It’s also available in different, patterns, colors, and styles. Though it is important to remember that granite is more costly compared to other types of stones. Though the slab might not be perfect and might contain imperfection since granite is a natural stone. 

Marble 

This material is also one of the natural stone types. Marbles are sleek and smooth and they usually come in grays or/and whites. Marble is indeed an aesthetic stone, however, they aren’t as sturdy compared to granite. Because of this, stains, and scratches might eventually appear. 

Quartz 

Quartz is an engineered stone, which is different from natural stones like granite and marble. Meaning, even if it is originated from mined quartz, most of it is composed of man-made pigments and polymer resins. You can actually benefit from choosing engineered stones compared to having a natural type. Quarts is actually flexible and it comes with a wider range of patterns and colors. Moreover, it does not have imperfections and it is much simpler to clean and maintain. 

Soapstone 

Soapstone is one of the natural stones, which is derived from metamorphic rock. This stone type is soft yet durable. Consequently, the random scratch and nick will eventually be seen. However, it will highlight your kitchen or bathroom the most regardless of what you want to achieve. Soapstone would be great for minimalist and modern kitchens since it is available in mostly grays and whites.  

Quartzite 

Ultimately, we have quartzite. This material is actually different from quartz. Quartzite is natural stone while quartz is an engineered one. Basing from this, quartzite is more durable and harder. But you only have limited choices for your design. Quartzite is available mostly in grays or whites, though you can see some hues of reds and pinks that are available in the market.
