Kitchen Countertop Options

Do you know the difference between granite and quartz? What about solid surface and laminate? As consumers, it is important that we know what we need and want from our kitchen countertops. There are a wide variety of choices available to us and it is essential that we know and understand which option best suits our lifestyles. Granite countertops offer a natural look and provide a durable, scratch and heat resistant surface. Quartz is an engineered stone that also provides a durable surface, but is non-porous and uniform in appearance. Solid surface is a man-made acrylic material that has a consistent pattern and color. Solid surface countertops are seamless, non-porous, and stain resistant. As you can see, each offers their own unique features and appeal. My own personal favorite and the surface which my countertops boast is solid surface. If you are interesting in solid surface for your countertops, check out the company LivingStone. They offer an unbeatable value in price.
