A Brief Overview of Countertop Surfaces:
Practically speaking, solid surface, natural stone and engineered stone tend to hold up best. These surfaces are also the most stain resistant.
Laminate and solid surface are available in the widest variety of colors.
Solid surfacing offers flexibility that is ideal for forming decorative shapes or integral sinks.
Once sealed, concrete surfaces are strong and durable.
Natural stone such as marble and granite offer a unique and elegant look.
Engineered stone is almost maintenance free and is the most durable surface.
Soapstone is millions of years old and provides a one of a kind texture.
The cost of countertops depends on factors such as quality and type of material, difficulty of installation, and edge treatment material and design. Laminate is the least expensive countertop material, running from between $5 to $20 per square foot.
