Perhaps a person has decided to change his or her kitchen counter, but do not know which one to choose. There are numerous home improvement shows that focus on the quality of Granite kitchen Counters in Kent, WA. However, there are other options to choose from. Here is an overview of how to choose the right counters.
On the practical side, if some materials are resistant to stains and scratches, while very beautiful, these choices require special attention. Quartz and , for example, can last a lifetime with a minimum amount of maintenance. As for marble, even sealed, it stains easily and, after a certain time, requires professional maintenance to be rehabilitated.
Another factor to consider is your budget. In-store prices (for a square foot or a linear foot) may at first seem high, but often include the cost of specialized labor (measurement, cutting, installation, etc.). Remember that you must purchase the sink and taps before placing an order for a counter. People have to make sure they choose a quality counter from the start since it is almost impossible to change them afterward (unless you want to spend thousands more).
Made of stone and resin particles to which color has been added, Quartz is the darling of designers at the moment. Available in a wide variety of solid colors (red, gray, various white, blue, etc.), this is a choice less tiresome than the speckled finishes of other options. It is very resistant to stains and heat, it looks beautiful and requires no sealant, unlike granite. However, corners may chip and its price is quite high.
Made from a resin base to which various materials have been added, solid surface countertops are available in a very wide range of solid colors and textures. Its great appeal is its “seamless” look since no fitting is visible. Once it is installed, it is polished and the joints disappear. It is even possible to have a sink built into the countertop. The whole thing gives the impression of being one piece. It is pretty expensive, though. Contact for more details.
