Many options are available for kitchen countertops when you decide to build a new kitchen or remodel the old one. Countertop materials come in all colors, textures, and prices for you to choose from and some of them are listed below for your consideration.

Granite is the most popular choice of material for people that are not on a tight budget. It is rather expensive, but the beauty of granite adds to the elegance of even a modest kitchen. Granite countertops take heat well; lasts a lifetime; has high value to potential home buyers. Some granite stone will absorb stains when not sealed properly; will crack if not installed right; knives will become dull by cutting on the granite.

Engineered stone is 93 percent quartz, has a large range of colors and its nonporous surface is scratch resistant. Easy maintenance without annual sealing, resistant to acid and stains, and it is expensive. As it is not porous, it is much more sanitary than others.

Solid surface countertops are made by Corian, Avonite, and Swanstone. They come in patterns and all colors of the rainbow; hot pans can damage surface; moderately expensive. Since it is a solid surface, you can sand out any scratches.

Ceramic tile is a really good choice for countertops for average homes since it is less expensive, easy to clean, and very durable. Installing the tile is done one section at a time and can be done yourself. Ceramic tile has a wide range of design, texture, price, and colors. If not careful your tile countertop easily cracks, chips, and grout lines will stain.

Laminate countertops bear the trademarks of Nevamar, Wilsonart, and Formica. These are made of synthetics that are plastic coated and smooth surfaced for easy cleaning. Chips and scratches are hard to repair but otherwise durable, easy maintenance, variety of colors, and inexpensive.

Butcher block or wood countertops usually are made from oak and maple can be resealed and sanded if needed. Smooth looking, easy to clean, and gives a warm, beautiful look to your kitchen.

Stainless steel countertops are durable and heat resistant. These counters may get dented, you should not cut on it, and it is noisy and also expensive.

Soapstone countertops are smooth and have a dark gray color, and often installed in historic homes. Modern homes sometimes use it as both sink and countertop material. Soapstone requires regular mineral oil applications and might darken or crack after time.

Marble countertops are usually placed on kitchen islands or the baking center. These are highly priced; waterproof; requires maintenance often since it stains easily.
