Are you planning to give your kitchen a makeover? If you answered yes, then our team of kitchen remodel experts recommend low-maintenance countertops so you save on maintenance costs in the long run. Aside from being easy to maintain, these countertops are also durable and designed to enhance the overall look of your kitchen. Here’s a quick rundown on our top countertop recommendations.
Laminate
Laminate countertops are made of several layers of pressed wood, PVC or fiberglass. While laminate countertops are relatively lightweight, they are tough enough to resist scratching so they don’t require frequent touch-ups. Laminate countertops have a nonporous surface so spills or stains are very easy to get rid of, plus they are available in all sorts of colors and textures, some of which resemble other high-end options.
Corian
Corian is a popular material for kitchen countertops. It’s made of acrylic polymer and ATH (alumina trihydrate). Corian countertops boast even more scratch resistance compared to laminate countertops. You may want to pick Corian if you’re looking for something textured.
Soapstone
If you have the budget to spare for your dream kitchen, then soapstone countertops may be the right low-maintenance option for you. Soapstone is a good alternative to granite or marble countertops because of its characteristic veiny texture, giving a kitchen a more organic look. Unlike marble, soapstone can resist staining caused by certain liquids such as wine, vinegar and juices.
Stainless Steel
Perfect for kitchens with a more industrial design, stainless steel kitchen countertops are known for their low maintenance requirements and exceptional durability. Stainless steel can have a smooth finish or a brushed metal look and, in some cases, can even be coated with scratch-resistant coatings.
Quartz
Quartz kitchen countertops have always been a favorite among homeowners for good reason: aside from having that high-end look, a quartz countertop does not easily get stained or scratched. This material also has a characteristic texture that works great in both traditional and modern kitchen design.
