Kitchen Countertops – So Many Choices!

Since G & S Remodeling was founded in 2006, the market for custom kitchen countertops has exploded, and the volume of information out there can quickly become overwhelming to a homeowner who doesn’t do this every day. Before you choose a kitchen counter design for your remodeling project, you might find it helpful to gain a general understanding of the different materials available, such as:

• Laminate – Constructed of layers of plastic bonded to particleboard, laminate countertops are available in a wide variety of patterns and colors at budget-friendly prices. While designed to be burn- and scratch-resistant, laminates are not burn- and scratch-proof—an important consideration for a kitchen remodel.
• Solid surface – Consisting of mineral dust (typically marble) mixed with plastic resins and pigments, solid-surface countertops are non-porous, stain-resistant, invisibly seamed, and highly durable. Also, because the materials are entirely manmade, this low-maintenance option offers a reliably consistent appearance (your countertop will look exactly like the sample you select).
• Quartz – Manufactured in a lab, engineered quartz is composed of natural stone fragments and resins, which undergo a chemical process that compresses them into a slab. Durable, consistent, and less expensive than naturally mined quartz, engineered quartz provides an attractive, contemporary look with marble-like detailing, and the countertop seams can be well-hidden.
• Natural stone – Granite, marble, and soapstone offer unrivaled beauty. All-natural stone countertops can also be custom-cut into virtually any shape, and they are 100% heat resistant. However, because natural stone is soft, it tends to mark up more easily than other countertop materials.
• Tile and concrete – Each offering a highly unique look, these man-made kitchen countertop options provide some of the same benefits as stone in terms of durability and heat resistance. However, creating a tile or concrete countertop is not a job for an amateur; there’s a lot that can go wrong, so it’s best to work with an expert.
