Islands and Countertops
Countertops are becoming an important feature of new kitchens, serving aesthetic and functional purposes ranging from traditional spaces for meal preparation, cooking, and cleanup to providing room for school work, hobbies, working from home, mobile device charging, and other activities.
Homeowners are gravitating toward larger islands with more countertop space, permitting that they are maintenance-free and enabling them to make a personal and compelling design statement in their homes. Factors to consider when selecting the perfect countertop for your new dream kitchen and how they look include durability, ease of maintenance and cleanliness, sustainability, and antimicrobial qualities.
The most requested countertops specified for homeowners include:
Quartz: This is a top seller because it is not only extremely durable and easy to maintain, but it comes in various colors, patterns, and styles.
Quartzite: Quartzite is an up-and-coming countertop material formed when quartz sandstone is exposed to high temperatures and pressure. The primary reason why homeowners are attracted to quartzite is that it looks and feels like marble at a lower price point. It is also durable and easy to maintain.
Natural Stone: Natural stone countertops, like granite and marble, continue to be popular due to their unique veining and patterns. Natural stone countertops are highly durable and can last many years with proper care.
Porcelain/Ceramic Countertops: Porcelain/ceramic countertops are highly resistant to heat, scratches, and stains, making them a popular choice for those who cook frequently. They are also available in a wide range of colors and patterns.
Butcher Block Countertops: Butcher block countertops are made of wood and are highly durable and heat-resistant. They provide a warm and inviting feel to the kitchen and can be an excellent choice for those who like to cook and bake.
