How to choose your countertop surface
Researching and selecting the countertop surface that best fits your needs can be a daunting task. To help focus your selection process, ask yourself the following questions:
- Am I going to worry when my kids or guest spills orange juice or red wine on my countertop?
- Does it matter if I set hot pots on my countertop?
- Do I like consistent color or one that is unique with patterns and veins?
- Do I care if my countertop material is natural, plastic or man-made?
- Would I like the option of an integral or undermount sink?
- How much do I have to spend on my countertop?
