DIVERSE OPTIONS NOW AVAILABLE TO GLAMORIZE YOUR COUNTERTOPS

July 17, 2017 by aclark Leave a Comment

Granite countertops seem to be the favorite countertop option for almost everyone these days. Be it new homeowners, home builders or even the companies who install countertops, they all seem to be most interested in granite countertops. The granite countertop bandwagon has become so strong that it almost seems like they have forgotten that other choices exist. You can make your countertops stand out by choosing one of many viable alternatives on the market today. While I would not advise against granite as it remains popular among buyers in South Lake Tahoe, it is not the only option. So why don’t you go for something that is equally beautiful which may even cost significantly less? In case you are about to go for a renovation you might want to learn about various alternatives to granite.

Explore your options

Let’s begin with our first choice which is Marble stone. It was one of the most favorite options some decades ago, but somehow it faded away as granite took over. Marble stone can be installed in kitchens, bathrooms and even fireplaces and on the floors. Moving on to our second option, we have Soapstone. It is a soft stone. The good thing here is that it is not porous despite being a soft stone, so it is a very suitable option for kitchen countertops. It is smooth and quite resilient. The fact that it is available in dark colors makes it even more desirable because it doesn’t need a lot of maintenance. Being used as a kitchen countertop, it works well because it is resistant to heat.

The options just don’t end

If you want to move away from the typical stone look then installing wooden countertops is a beautiful choice. The wooden touch in an otherwise modern construction gives a very nice rustic look. It is a perfect blend of chic yet vintage. Just with a little oiling wooden countertops can look great anywhere in your house. Having wooden vanities or even wooden countertops in your kitchen can be a refreshing touch. The latest trend on the market is Quartz stone. This stone is gaining acceptance rapidly because it is quite durable. Its composition consists aggregate and polymers. You do not have to worry about scratches or stains with this one because it is not porous. Being a manufactured stone, the variety of colors as well as patterns is vast.

Be different

The options do not stop here. If you look away from granite, you will even more choices than mentioned here, for example, recycled paper counters, concrete slabs, solid surface countertops, stainless steel countertops, laminate counters and even hammered copper.  So don’t be afraid to break out from the crowd and give one these countertop alternatives a try.
