INTRODUCTION TO COUNTERTOPS • Countertops are the essence of your workrooms interior. A countertop is a horizontal work surface in kitchens or other food preparation areas, bathrooms or lavatories, and workrooms in general. Though countertops are very elegant and can amplify the exquisite interior of any workrooms, it can be very studious to select the correct countertop which would blend easily and still beautify your interior. Also, a countertop should be durable enough to withstand all the pressure and burden imparted on it. So here are two of the best countertops materials.

COUNTERTOPS MATERIALS 1. Granite • The most popular amongst all the materials used in countertops are granite.

Granite is a natural stone which is fabricated before shaping it into a countertop. Each and every slab of granite comes with a unique design and hence helps retain the originality of each and every workroom.

2. Quartz • Quartz crystals are also attained naturally but the quartz material used to make countertops is not naturally available but are engineered by combining quartz crystals together with a resin binder. As it is made artificially, quartz is made keeping in mind the needs of the people and the usage of the material and hence are one of the most durable amongst all other materials.

Engineered Quartz is a little expensive though.

GRANITE COUNTERTOPS • Among these two, Granite is the better choice as it is much more artistic and can be used for any purpose. You will find much more beauty in granite and there is certainly an excitement involved in picking out the small imperfections and color variation. The durability of granite is also impressive, not as durable as quartz but certainly better than quartz not just in terms of looks but also in terms of cost. Granite is much cheaper than quartz, making it an optimal choice for countertops.
