For these aspects, the material choice becomes the most important decision. But how do you choose the right material? Natural stones like marble, granite, or quartzite are porous materials that require more maintenance. Also, these countertops are more pricer than other material options but nothing can beat the undeniable beauty of these. Quartz countertops are a perfect alternative for natural stones. They offer different patterns and textures at more affordable prices. If you have a tight budget, laminate countertops might be a better option.
