Kitchen Counter Tops |
Kitchen countertops can go a long way in transforming a kitchen and boosting it's value. When selecting a kitchen countertop, consider the style you're trying to create. Do you want a formal kitchen with high-end appliances or a casual country-style kitchen with soft furnishings?
A formal kitchen typically dictates a polished stone countertop, such as granite. Granite kitchen countertops have been a hot seller for many years, as they add a rich, shiny look and can boost a home's resale value.
In a country-style kitchen, a muted stone countertop with a softer look is a better fit. Some country kitchens also include butcher block sections for ease of cutting and meal preparation. Wood kitchen countertops offer a special look, but they should be sealed periodically.
Stone countertops do require some maintenance, however, prompting some home owners to move toward man-made products, such as solid surface, quartz, and laminates. Solid surface kitchen countertops have a smooth surface, are easy to clean and typically come with an integral in sink.
Quartz kitchen countertops are considered a mix between solid surface and granite, as they offer the low maintenance of solid surface and the speckled look of granite. Quartz countertops are highly durable and can withstand plenty of use.
Laminate kitchen countertops are the most inexpensive type of countertops and they are available in a wide range of patterns and colors. Many people like the patterns that resemble natural stone, as it gives the look of granite at a fraction of the cost.
Selecting a kitchen countertop requires a focus on style and value. A countertop with the right design can do wonders for the look, feel and value of your home. |
