Many people dream about having their countertops being made out of marble, but there are actually a number of other equally beautiful options to choose from including the likes of concrete, raw wood and zinc.
Regardless of whether you want your countertop in Minneapolis or elsewhere to have a relaxed or more formal appearance, there are available options that are luxurious, practical and resistant to stains.
Quartz is a very popular option for kitchen countertops, being an engineered stone manufactured with a combination of resins and ground quartz particles that is highly durable and requires little maintenance, making it a very practical countertop choice.
There is no need for special care such as sealing with quartz, and it is very simple to clean. Quartz can also mimic the appearance of other materials such as marble and granite and other natural stones and is available in a wide array of different patterns and colours.
Corian is the name of a synthetic polymer that is classed as a solid-surface countertop material that in addition to countertops is also often used in shower walls, sinks and backsplashes.
Corian is able to cope with heavy use and is also non-porous and water resistant, making it easy to clean with standard household cleaners. Available in a range of different colors, which usually provide consistent patterns, it is also possible to refinish corian countertops in the event they are nicked.
The most durable of natural stones that is available as slabs is granite, which can be cut to any size to fit the needs of any countertop and is heat and scratch resistant.
