Kitchen countertops not only take center stage in the home but are also a statement piece.  Your home is your sanctuary and your kitchen is the heart of it.  It is more than just a place where you cook, it is a place where you gather with your friends and family.

If considering re-modeling your kitchen, here are six of the most popular countertops to consider:

1. QUARTZ

This option is in popular demand when it comes to choosing kitchen countertops.  Not only is Quartz easy to clean, but it is also heat, scratch, and stain-resistant.  This is a durable option with an endless choice of colors and patterns.

2. GRANITE

Granite pieces are each unique as they are slabs of stone cut from the earth.  Granite does require a bit more maintenance, as it is more porous.  You can order with a polished, shiny finish, a matte finish, or even a specialty finish such as flamed or leather.  Design flexibility is a significant advantage when choosing granite because of the many choices in color and finish.

3. MARBLE

Marble is very popular and has a beautiful look however, it is softer and even more porous than granite.  The fact that this stone is more susceptible to stains and scratches, is something to keep in mind when choosing it.

4. QUARTZITE

If you love Marble, you’ll probably love Quartzite as it is a natural stone with similar beauty.  It is harder than marble and granite.  This countertop is also more resistant than marble, but can also be prone to etching.

5. PORCELAIN

Porcelain countertops appear to be on the rise in popularity.  It is absolutely beautiful, durable, and low maintenance.  They are even rated for exterior use.

6. WOOD

Wood countertops are a durable surface for hard-working kitchens.  You can find these countertops in cherry, maple, hickory, walnut, teak, sapele, or mahogany.  Be willing to accept cuts and scratches on the surface if you are wanting to use your countertop for cutting or chopping.
