Is it time to remodel your bathroom? Countertops and vanities set the tone for your bathroom design. With many colors, styles and choices of materials available you can customize your bathroom to fit the needs of your household, weather you’re looking for style and grace, elegance and glamour, or just a practical, roomy bathroom for the large family with children. The countertop is going to stand out the most; the color and style you choose will determine the colors and patterns for the rest of the room. You should select a countertop first, and then decide on other fixtures, flooring, colors and window treatments. The countertop and vanity will be one of the most expensive items in the room; it will also be used and maybe even abused. Choose wisely to ensure a durable, long-lasting countertop that will keeps its good looks for many years. Countertops are not something you will change or update as often as carpet, flooring, paint and window treatments throughout your home. Bathroom countertops are available in many types of surfaces and materials, including laminate, solid surface, marble and granite. These materials come in a range of prices and durability. All are easy to maintain with cleaners that are specifically designed for each type of countertop. Laminate: Laminate, like Formica, is among the lowest priced countertop surfaces. It comes in a wide variety of colors and patterns and it is stain and scuff resistant, but it can still be burned, chipped or scratched. Though it was a very popular choice years ago, it has lost favor to newer products. Solid Surface: Solid surface, like Corian, is easy to maintain and also comes in a variety of colors and designs. Solid surface countertops are designed to imitate the look of natural stone, such as granite or marble, but they are not nearly as durable. They are also beginning to lose popularity. Marble: Marble is known for its beauty and elegance, but it is soft and porous and can stain easily. Marble remains to be a popular choice for bathroom countertops and wall and floor tiles. It is available in a variety of thicknesses in slab and tile form. Granite: Granite is the “Cadillac” of countertop choices. This high quality, durable, natural stone product is less susceptible to scratching and staining than any other countertop material. It withstands heat and high usage that a bathroom counter is exposed to. It is available in a variety of colors and finishes, including polished, matt, and rough-textured. Granite is, quickly becoming the most popular choice of countertops when considering beauty, elegance, durability and ease of cleaning and maintaining. No matter what your choice of material is for your bathroom countertop, you will want to be sure it will last for a long time, remain stylish and maintain its good looks. Laminate and other synthetic solid-surface countertops will show wear much quicker than marble or granite. Marble is very popular, but granite is rising in popularity because it is very durable. When considering your budget, also consider the time and effort that goes into bathroom remodeling. Spending a little more money now will save a lot of time and work later.
