Ideas for New Kitchen Counters

Article Category: Real Estate

Author Name: Ginger Jackson

Remodeling a kitchen has many components, but one that you must take into account is the material that you will eventually use for your new kitchen counters. There is a wide variety, in fact an almost overwhelming variety, and in the next few paragraphs, we will look at about three or four ideas you may wish to explore further. At the end of it all, the cost factor will tip the scales in one direction or the other, but it is important to also weigh the value different materials will bring into your kitchen.

With value optimally considered, you can at the final stage allow the cost factor to take its place and cast the definitive vote. Top in the range of durable counters are the kitchen counters made from granite. The stone comes in a wide variety of colors and requires little maintenance over time. Granite gives a kitchen a classy finish that speaks of dollars spent. Indeed, if money is not high up on your list of concerns, a granite table top is a very good selection.

A table top counter finished off with ceramic tiles has great aesthetic appeal with durability added to it too. Ceramic tiles have a wide price range which gives you the freedom to select a finish that is both appealing to the eye as well as one that fits within your budget. Ceramic tiles will resist heat from pots and pans straight off the stove which reduces the fear of damaging your counter top significantly. They are also fairly easy to clean and therefore grease and other kitchen stains will not pose a major maintenance concern. However, conscious care over time must be taken to keep the joint between one tile and the next scum free.

In the range of most common synthetic countertop finishes are laminate finishes. These are coated with plastic and have a shiny and smooth finish. The greatest advantage of the laminates is the low cost of installation. The pieces are cut to fit your space. Of definite disadvantage is seeing that they are made of plastic, they do not withstand heat well. Hot pans will certainly leave a mark and therefore extra care to always use heat resistant mats is a must. Over time, as with all things plastic, these surfaces will chip and crack and appear quite washed out.

Though wooden countertops will give a kitchen both beauty and a feel of blending in with nature, they are not too durable in the long term. Cuts, burns, stains will stay and with time will give a very unkempt look to your kitchen counter. However, a discipline of using cutting boards and of cleaning up stains immediately a spill happens will keep these looking appealing for longer.

Stainless steel countertops must receive mention when looking at options for new kitchen counters. These too are not damaged by heat and spills, but your knives will not stay sharp if you cut directly on this surface. However, because stainless steel tops are made to order, the cost factor will come into very sharp and very likely prohibitive focus.
