What's the best way to top off your kitchen remodel with the perfect working surface for your family? Today we’ll look at few options to remodel kitchen countertops.

Laminate Countertops

If you’re looking to save money on your kitchen remodel, choosing laminate countertops may be the best choice. Laminate can cost as much as one-third the price of the other materials we’ll discuss below. Laminates include materials such as Formica. They are durable, easy to care for, and come in many colors. A drawback is that scratches and chips in laminates are often impossible to repair or disguise.

Ceramic Tile

A very durable yet inexpensive option for counters. They are fairly easy to clean, stand up well to heat, and come in a wide selection of colors and textures. As for drawbacks, individual tiles can crack or chip and the grout lines can become stained over time.

Solid Surface

Materials such as Corian are extremely durable and stain resistant. Another bonus is that scratches that may occur can be sanded out. Many colors to choose from. Drawbacks include a vulnerability to hot pans and tendency to be expensive.

Wood

Usually made from oak or maple, butcher-block counters can lend warmth to the kitchen. Damage from water and stains can happen over time. When scratches or dings occur, they can often be easily sanded down, re-oiled and look good as new.

Concrete

This is a versatile solution for counters offering the ability to create unusual shapes and edge treatments, and the fun option of embedding keepsakes, treasures or other decorations. It can also be tinted using various pigments. Concrete is heat and scratch resistant, but cracking can occur. Concrete is porous, and thus needs to be properly sealed.

Glass

This newer trend in countertops can be amazingly durable as well as beautiful.

Metal

Stainless steel is a durable and heat resistant, but can be noisy to work on and is a fairly expensive option. Cutting on this surface should be avoided.

Granite

Granite counters are in demand and carry a high value to home buyers. Its sleek glossy finish and abundant colors speak of elegance and sophistication. In performance, it is a very hard material (second only to diamonds), handles heat well, and can last a lifetime. Granite can be a costly, but it doesn’t have to be!
