Here are some of the stain and scratch-resistant countertop materials that you could use for your next home project.
Are you getting a new countertop built for your home? If you are, then one of the first things to consider is the material that’s used to create it. There are many countertop materials you could use, but you’ll want to look for options that are strong, durable, and resistant to different types of damage, like scratching and stains. Here are some of the stain and scratch-resistant countertop materials that you could use for your next home project.
Quartz
Quartz is a material that’s made from engineered stone, blending resin and natural quartz crystals together. Combining these materials creates an incredibly durable countertop material that not only resists scratches and stains, but also provides you with a wide selection of colors and patterns. This way, no matter what aesthetic you’re trying to achieve, a quartz countertop should be able to fit seamlessly into your vision. You get a little heat resistance with this kind of material, but extreme heat can be a problem, so be careful what you’re setting on a quartz countertop.
Quartzite
Quartzite countertops are distinct from quartz countertops, but they have the same scratch and stain resistances. They’re available in traditional, rustic, and modern designs, making them easy to incorporate into older and newer homes alike.
The color options are a little more limited with these countertops, and you might need to apply sealant on occasion in order to keep stains away. On the upside, this is a countertop material that offers heat resistance, so it works well in kitchens.
Granite
If you’re looking for natural countertop materials, then granite could be the way to go for you. These countertops also come with heat resistance, making them much more suitable for kitchen environments. All the while, they still have all of the scratch and stain resistance that you need to keep your countertop in good condition for the long term.
