How do you choose a white countertop?
When it comes to choosing a white countertop, style, function, and cost are the most important aspects that you need to figure out. 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.

White Marble Countertops
Marble is one of the most precious stones that is commonly used for interior design applications, especially for kitchens. The beautiful and natural veinings of the marble offered one-of-a-kind appeals and if you are looking for a timeless and luxurious option, there is no better option than a white marble countertop.
Yes, the appearance is undeniably beautiful and it can change instantly the atmosphere but these slabs are very expensive than the other materials. According to the size of the slabs and the source of marble, the prices is ranging from $50 to $250 per square foot. For example, Carrara and Calacatta command high prices.
The other important cons of this material are its porous surface. That means it can easily absorb the liquids and is more likely to get stained and it requires more care. That’s why it must be sealed before the installation and it immediately needs to clean after cooking.
