Which materials are best when building your bathroom countertop

When you envision the perfect bathroom you may see beautifully tiled floors and stunning décor. This dream of yours will probably be completed with the most gorgeous set of countertops one can imagine. But if asked to describe further (to maybe go into detail on the type of benchtop material you envision), you may be at a loss for words. There are so many options out there, each one stunning in its own colour or style. So how do you quantify “gorgeous” to your builder or interior designer?

Below, we’ll compare all of the leading bathroom countertop options, and show you how to choose between them.

Quartz

Quartz is one of the toughest materials you could use when furnishing your bathrooms countertops. It is tougher than granite, and can be a great option if you’re looking for a resilient material that has greater durability. When used it provides you with a shiny finish due to its crystalline texture. Typically, Quartz countertops have the power to match with any bathroom style, be it modern or classic. They are also resistant to moisture, staining and bacteria, which can keep your bathroom clean over longer periods of time.

Marble

If your vision contains bathroom countertops that are a little more elegant and stylish, marble is definitely the better option for you. Marble provides a glossy surface that is perfect for brightening up your bathroom, and creating that almost effortless ambiance of class and sophistication. Due to this, one of the main benefits you will experience with marble surfaces is that they will not only match with various colours and styles, they’ll also complement any type of décor choice. In addition, it’s also a very strong material that is long lasting and that has a greater resistance to chips and scratches.

Granite

Granite provides an excellent option for more subtle design choices, or bolder colour schemes. With its natural matt finish it provides a durable scratch resistant countertop that blends almost seamlessly within most bathrooms. In addition, it’s also a relatively inexpensive choice that is impervious to heat and humidity and that will last you for a longer period of time.

Glazed Ceramic Tile

Ceramic tiles have the potential to be a very charming choice. Due to the various patterns and colour schemes that they can have, they have the unique ability to brighten up a bathroom in a range of varied swatches. They are also resistant to moisture, heat and stains.
