Surface Material
Today's most popular countertops include marble, granite, soapstone, porcelain, quartzite, butcher block, solid surface composites and laminate. Each surface material can vary substantially in price, aesthetic, practicality and order/installation time.
Durability
There are a few essential factors to consider in evaluating the durability of your new kitchen countertops:
- scratch resistance
- heat resistance
- chemical resistance
How extensively the material you're considering is affected by these factors will determine how long it is likely to maintain its look of newness.
Maintenance
