Below are some of the most popular countertop materials:
Granite
Known for its enduring, natural beauty and resistance to heat and scratching, granite is an ancient natural stone with inherent variations in color, tone, granularity, and pattern.
All natural granite kitchen countertops sold at Consumers come with a five-year stain warranty for peace of mind.
Quartz
Quartz can be found in almost any type of rock on the earth’s surface, but unlike granite, it forms in clusters rather than huge stone blocks, so it must be engineered into countertop slabs.
Engineered quartz is highly resistant to heat, scratches, and impact. Its manufacturing process makes it non-porous, creating a low-maintenance and hygienic countertop surface.
Quartzite
Not to be confused with engineered quartz, Quartzite is a natural stone created when sandstone is subjected to extreme heat and pressure in the earth’s crust.
Slabs of quartzite used for countertops are stunning and vivid, with large streaks of color spread across a base of white, beige, or gray stone.
Marble
Although some materials come close, the beauty, warmth, veining, and character of a natural marble countertop cannot be replicated.
While marble is a natural stone, it is not as hard as granite, and does not share its trademark resistance to stains, scratches, etching, and even chipping. Over time, as more minor scratching and etching occurs, the less noticeable it will become (think of a wood floor) and regular sealing should prevent most stains.
Soapstone
Soapstone is a natural countertop material that combines the dark beauty of granite with the light veining of marble. Though it will darken naturally over time, its surface can be treated periodically with mineral oil to darken the stone and bring out the veining.
Soapstone is extremely resistant to heat and is non-porous by nature, so it will not stain. Under every day kitchen
use, however, it is not a matter of it will scratch but when. Minor nicks, scratches, and gouges can usually be
buffed out with sandpaper.
Wood
Hand-crafted custom wood countertops add warmth and beauty to a room that no other countertop material can replicate.
-
Decorative wood countertops feature a permanent, water & Stain proof, low-maintenance, heat-resistant finish.
-
Working wood countertops, which are designed to withstand direct chopping, cutting, and heavy food preparation, come factory sealed and oiled, but require regular treatment to keep from drying out.
-
Both decorative and working wood countertops are available in a multitude of wood species and thicknesses.
Solid Surface
Solid surface is a synthetic blend of natural
minerals and high-performance acrylic.
It has enjoyed lasting popularity as a countertop material due to its design flexibility, impact resistance, seamless appearance, and ease of repair to minor stains, burns, and scratches.
Laminate
The only choice that can replicate the look of natural stone, wood, metal, or any other surface or pattern, and is available in more textures than any other counter material.
Consumers is the only distributor in the industry that constructs laminate countertops exclusively marine grade plywood to ensure maximum durability and prevent water penetration.
High-pressure decorative laminate is composed of several layers of resin-saturated paperboard, topped with a decorative layer protected by melamine, then compressed and cured with heat to make a hard, durable surface.
