Alternatives To Marble Countertops
Marble is such a beautiful stone. An elegant look with a shine that compliments any color, any decor, in any home. But marble is not only expensive, it comes with some upkeep. If you don’t mind the maintenance, it is a great surface to have. However, there are some alternatives to marble countertops that may make a better addition to your home or business at a more affordable price.
Quartz Countertops
Quartz is a great option if you are looking for durability and style. While not recommended for outdoor counters due to fade, indoors it is a viable alternative to marble. White quartz comes in groups. The first, a high polished surface with a shine. The second, a more honed surface with a suede finish.
Granite Countertops
One of the most cost effective materials for replacing your current countertops with is granite. Not only is it incredible durable, but it adds tons of value to your home. It seals easily, is very low maintenance while easy to clean and sanitize. This stone gives a unique look as no two pieces of granite are the same. That means when you install granite countertops, you are getting a one of a kind piece in your home.
Other Stone Countertops
There are many other options for stone countertops when looking for a luxury feel in the kitchen, bathroom, or laundry room. Onyx, Quartzite, and combinations of these materials in tiles also work. Consider your needs when choosing a countertop material. If you do a lot of cooking and have a busy kitchen, you may want something heat resistant. If you do a lot of cutting, you may consider a butcher block or wooden counter top. While wooden counters require a little maintenance, they are soft enough not to dull your knives.
