Have you checked your bathroom countertops lately? When they’re already chipped, scratched and outdated, the better decision is to get an upgrade. But this time, you’ll want to make sure your choice of countertop material is more durable and longer lasting than the previous one. Here are some of your potential options:
The bland, metal-edged laminate countertops of old have been replaced with something better looking and more versatile. In fact, the appearance of laminate has changed so much it can now fool you into thinking it is actually genuine wood, marble or granite. This material is available in a wide range of colors and patterns, and is generally more cost-effective than its counterparts. The downside, however, is that laminate countertops tend to thin and dull over time, and, when even one section is damaged, it will need a complete replacement.
This exceptional option remains a favorite because of its extreme durability, surpassing even granite. Quartz is non-porous, which means countertops made of this material won’t require sealing, and it is highly resistant to moisture, stains and bacteria. Aesthetics-wise, quartz countertops come in different colors and styles, offering a more uniform hue than natural stone. Just note, however, that this material easily shows smudges and fingerprints, and is usually costlier compared to other options.
Both granite and marble belong to this type of countertop material. Natural stone countertops are generally enduring and offer a timeless elegance most materials can’t match. Because natural stone is a premium material, it is considerably more expensive so be prepared to spend a bit more on your upgrade. Additionally, natural stone countertops will require periodic sealing and more maintenance to keep them intact and looking great.
