New countertops are a great way to up the visual wow factor of your home. However, you will also want to keep in mind what materials would stand up best against wear and time – especially in the kitchen. And since countertops can be quite costly to replace, you will also want to consider something that you will love, as well as something that lasts. So, let’s talk about countertops and discuss three very popular and resilient options.

Quartz Countertops

Because quartz is manufactured, it is also highly customizable. From various colors and patterns, quartz can provide you with numerous visually appealing options for your kitchen countertops. Quartz is also very easy to clean which is a major plus when it comes to the kitchen. 

Aside from its beauty, quartz is also considered to be one of the most durable when it comes to countertops. Quartz is scratch-resistant, stain-resistant, and bacteria-resistant. And because the material is nonporous, quartz countertops do not require any sealing that other materials and countertops may require. 

Granite Countertops

“Can’t stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen.” Granite is a natural stone countertop option that can stand the heat. Granite’s highly durable when it comes to extreme temperatures. Scratch and stain-resistant, too, granite is a great option for kitchen countertops. 

Granite also comes in many different patterns and colors which adds a visual appeal. You can design and shine in your kitchen with ease. Granite is also very low maintenance. 

Recycled Glass Countertops

Like granite, recycled glass is another material you can use for your kitchen countertops that is heat resistant. This means you don’t have to worry about fading due to high temperatures like you might have with other materials. This type of material is also scratch and stain-resistant. Another huge plus when working in the kitchen. 

Recycled glass countertops also provide your kitchen with a unique pop of color for visitors to admire. From various shades of blues, greens, and browns, these countertops provide color and a modern feel to your kitchen. Recycled glass countertops are also eco-friendly, which is a big plus for both you and the environment.
