Selecting The Right Countertop
Selecting the right countertop material for your home involves several important considerations. Here are a few key factors to keep in mind:
Durability
Some countertop materials, like granite and quartz, are known for their strength and longevity. Think about how much daily use your countertops will endure and choose a material that can handle that level of wear and tear.
Maintenance
Quartz is a non-porous, engineered surface that requires very little upkeep and doesn’t need sealing. In contrast, most natural stones—such as granite, marble, and quartzite—should be sealed to protect against damage and staining. For example, marble countertops typically need to be resealed at least once a year.
Cost
Countertop prices vary significantly depending on the material. Be sure to establish a budget before shopping and explore options that align with what you’re willing to invest.
Aesthetic Appeal
Choose a countertop surface that enhances the overall design and style of your kitchen and home. From classic elegance to modern minimalism, different materials offer distinct looks.
Staining & Etching
Marble, when left unsealed, is especially vulnerable to staining and etching. Stains can result from oils, coffee, wine, or other substances that leave permanent marks. Etching occurs when acidic materials like lemon juice or vinegar react with the surface, leaving dull or discolored spots.
Quick Guide to Popular Countertop Materials
Granite: Extremely durable and heat-resistant, though it requires sealing and can be a higher-end investment.
Quartz: Engineered for strength and stain resistance; low maintenance but often comparable in price to granite.
Marble: Elegant and visually stunning with natural veining, but more prone to scratches, staining, and etching—regular sealing is necessary.
Before making a final decision, it’s a good idea to visit a showroom or consult with a design expert who can help you compare materials and assess what best suits your lifestyle and taste. Be sure to check out our Countertop Selection Guide for detailed insights into the materials we offer and tips for choosing the perfect countertop for your home.
Countertop Maintenance
Proper maintenance helps keep your countertops looking beautiful and lasting longer. Here are some basic care guidelines for popular materials:
Quartz
Quartz countertops are highly durable and require minimal upkeep. Simply clean with mild soap and water for daily care. There’s no need for sealing, but avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can dull the surface over time.
Discover more in our Quartz Countertop Maintenance Guide.
Marble
To protect against staining and etching, marble countertops should be sealed regularly. Clean with a gentle soap and water solution, and always wipe up spills promptly to avoid permanent marks. Avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the delicate surface.

Granite
Granite countertops also benefit from sealing, which helps guard against stains and bacteria. Use mild soap and water for routine cleaning, or opt for a granite-specific cleaner for added protection. Like other natural stones, avoid using scouring pads or harsh chemicals that could scratch or dull the surface.

Prefabricated Countertops
Prefabricated countertops are pre-cut and pre-finished surfaces available in standard sizes, making them a convenient and budget-friendly option for kitchens and bathrooms. Commonly made from materials like granite, marble, travertine, and quartz, these countertops are designed to fit standard dimensions and simplify the installation process.
One of the main benefits of prefabricated countertops is their affordability—they are typically more cost-effective than custom-made options. Since they come ready to install, they can often be fitted by a contractor or even a skilled homeowner in just a few hours.
Standard sizes for prefabricated granite and quartz countertops are typically 112″ x 26″ with a thickness of 2 cm, while island slabs generally measure 108″ x 42″ at the same thickness. All prefabricated pieces feature laminated, polished flat edges, finished to a thickness of 1.5 inches.
