Granite countertops

Granite is a countertop that stands as a firm favorite among homeowners.  It lends a beautiful finish to any counter surface and does not require loads of maintenance.  Due to the fact that more and more people are choosing granite, the overall cost is decreasing.  The natural stone surface is beautiful to the touch and stands up well to heat, stains and will last a lifetime.  The only downside with granite is the cost. Even though costs are decreasing, it is still the most expensive choice for a kitchen countertop.

Quartz countertops

Quartz is an engineered stone that looks and feels like natural stone.  Quartz countertops are available in a wide variety of colors and finishes.  The nonporous surfaces stand up well to heat, stains, and impact.  Quartz cost a lost less than granite and last a lifetime.  The surface is very easy to maintain and only needs a proper seal once a year.  As with granite, the downside of quartz is cost.

Marble countertops

Due to its cost, marble is not a popular choice for kitchen countertops.  It is an extremely beautiful and durable surface that gives a perfect finish to any kitchen.  However, the cost makes this surface a hard choice for homeowners.  Some homeowners will combine marble with another less costly surface, such as laminate or quartz.  Also, the natural stone needs regular maintenance as it does not stand up well to stains.  The downside to marble is its porous nature, high cost,and high maintenance requirements.

Soapstone countertops

Soapstone is rapidly rising in popularity.  It usually comes in dark shades of gray and is extremely smooth to the touch.  Soapstone was used extensively a number of years ago, and can still be found in historical homes.  Recently, it has seen a rise in use again.  This surface is popular with homeowners as it is slightly stain resistant, rich in color and smooth to the touch, as well as lower in cost than other natural stone products.  The only downsides are that the surface requires constant maintenance due to its highly porous nature, and may crack with exposure to extreme heat.

Homeowners in Chantilly have an excellent number of choices when it comes to kitchen countertops.  Discover Granite has over 40 years experience and will be sure to deliver to a customer’s exact standards.
