3 Counter Options for Your Kitchen

Posted on March 20, 2019

Perhaps one of the most difficult decisions to make during a kitchen remodeling project is choosing the right countertop for your kitchen. With dozens of options to choose from, it can be overwhelming, confusing, and sometimes, downright frustrating. If you’ve already explored the typical materials like granite, stainless steel, or hardwood but didn’t find anything that appeals to you, then you might want to explore the following options. These countertops will not only stand the test of time and use but will also increase the aesthetic value of your kitchen.

Soapstone

Soapstone is perhaps one of the best options for kitchen countertops. The material is resistant to stain and bacterial growth, making it a great material to work with. It’s easy to clean, low-maintenance, and probably one of the most hygienic options for countertops. While soapstone can cost as much as $100 per square foot of space, it is probably going to be one of the best investments you’ve ever made for your kitchen.

Copper

Copper might be the last option in your mind for your kitchen countertop but it’s actually a viable option. It’s relatively low-maintenance and is very easy to clean. The downside to copper is that it can change its color when exposed to certain chemicals and ingredients. But if you’re looking for something truly unique, copper is a great option. It can give your kitchen character and it will certainly be unlike any other countertop out there. You can ask a kitchen remodeling professional to help you source out the material.

Bio-Glass

If you’re into exploring more eco-friendly options, you might want to consider bio-glass. Bio-glass is a material made from 100% recycled glass that are bound by adding resins, chemicals, and binders. These pieces are melted and are combined to form countertop slabs. The beauty in bio-glass, aside from the fact that it’s eco-friendly, is that it can be made to look like anything. It’s also highly reflective, making it a great option for small kitchens, as it can reflect light and give the illusion of a bigger, brighter space.

When choosing a material for your countertops, make sure to consult a kitchen remodeling expert so you can choose the right material for your personal needs and your budget.
