Countertops

At The Design House, we know that the right countertop can elevate your surroundings-literally! From your kitchen to your bathroom or laundry room, we’re here to help you select attractive and functional countertop solutions. We offer selections of high-quality countertop materials, each carefully chosen to meet our standards of durability, aesthetics, and versatility. We have countertop solutions for nearly every budget.

Whether you prefer the timeless elegance of natural stone or the modern sophistication of engineered surfaces, here are just a few examples of the types of materials that are most used in our remodeling projects.

Granite Countertops:

Benefits: Granite countertops are known for their durability and natural beauty. Each slab of granite is unique, offering a one-of-a-kind look to your kitchen. Granite is resistant to heat, scratches, and stains, making it an ideal choice for high-traffic areas like the kitchen. Additionally, granite countertops can increase the resale value of your home due to their timeless appeal.

Limitations: Granite requires periodic sealing to maintain its resistance to stains.

Marble Countertops:

Benefits: Marble countertops exude elegance and sophistication, adding a luxurious touch to any kitchen. Known for its classic veining and smooth surface, marble is popular for its beauty and timelessness. Additionally, marble countertops can withstand heat, making them suitable for baking and cooking tasks.

Limitations: Marble is susceptible to scratching and staining, requiring regular sealing and maintenance to preserve its appearance.

Quartz Countertops:

Benefits: Quartz countertops offer the best of both worlds – the beauty of natural stone and the durability of engineered materials. Quartz countertops are non-porous, making them resistant to stains, scratches, and bacteria. They require minimal maintenance and are available in a wide range of colors and patterns. Quartz countertops are also heat-resistant, making them ideal for busy kitchens.

Limitations: While quartz is heat-resistant, extreme heat can cause damage.

Here are more types of countertops you may have considered.

1.   Solid Surface: Made from acrylic or polyester resins, solid surface countertops are seamless, non-porous, and easy to maintain. They can be customized to fit any design aesthetic and are available in a variety of colors and finishes.

2.   Laminate: Affordable and versatile, laminate countertops offer a wide range of colors and patterns to choose from. While they are not as durable as natural stone or quartz, they are resistant to stains and easy to clean.

3.   Butcher Block: Made from wood, butcher block countertops provide a warm and natural look to kitchens. They are durable, easy to maintain, and can be sanded and refinished to remove scratches and stains.
