What is the preferred material for kitchen countertops?
Q: With so many options out there, it's hard to pick the right kitchen countertop. What is the best material for kitchen countertops?
A: You have to ask yourself a few questions to start with. First, what's your budget like. Granite and Corian are the high end of the materials, and are both very durable and reliable but can be expensive. Concrete is also a great new concept for countertops, but it can get a little pricey as well. Butcher block is a good neutral choice which allows you a lot of flexibility to redesign your kitchen later on without having to replace the countertops to fit the color. If you're on a tight budget, laminate may be your best choice. Laminate is fairly durable and is a much lower cost that the high end materials. So, decide what sort of style you're going for and determine your budget. This will help narrow down your choices.
