If you’re redesigning your bathroom, you’re likely considering all your options for your new countertop materials. So, how do you know what the best material option is? There’s no one right answer, as the best material for your countertops depends on your needs, tastes, and budget. This blog will outline a few material ideas and the pros and cons of each so you can choose the best material, whether it’s granite, quartz, or marble bathroom countertops in Altamonte Springs, FL.
Granite
Granite countertops are a very popular material option for bathrooms. They give a luxurious finish, are highly durable surface, and offer a good selling point if you plan to resell your home. Granite withstands most stains and is heat resistant, so you can place hot curling irons and straighteners on the surface without worrying. It’s important to note that granite needs to be sealed to repel grease, which can be in hair products. Saw Tech will apply the first coat of sealant at time of installation.

Solid Surface
Solid Surface is a low-cost choice. If you’re on a tight budget, you can find Corian or LG Hi-Macs that still provides a beautiful finish to your counters. It stands up well to water and stains, but you cannot place hot items on it, and it does dent and wears out over time.
Tile
Tile counters are a unique and beautiful option. It gives you many design options because the tiles can be laid in artistic patterns for a one-of-a-kind look. It’s fairly durable and, depending on the type of tile you choose, will withstand heat well. The downside is that grout lines will become discolored and dirty if you don’t give them a lot of care, so make sure you’re ready for the commitment of cleaning these regularly before you use them for your bathroom countertops in Altamonte Springs, FL.
