The durability, variability, and beauty of stone countertops make them an investment worth making for your home. However, when you start looking to purchase a stone countertop for your bathroom, you need to consider the unique characteristics of each stone. Limestone and onyx, while popular and well loved, may not be the best choice for a bathroom that sees everyday use. Both of these countertops are susceptible to damage from make-up, certain cleaners, and especially any kind of acidic compound.

It is often advised that you look for more robust stones such as granite for a countertop that will see a lot of use. Everyday bathroom activities can easily put wear and tear on the softer or more fragile stones but with the more durable stones you will ultimately not have to worry about that. Some simple and basic cleaning will keep your stone countertop in good condition for a much longer time.

However, it you decide that such stones as onyx or limestone are really what you want, companies that produce stone countertops for bathrooms also produce the special home cleaners and sealers you will need. It is completely possible to keep the more fragile stone countertops in good condition for a long time; you will just have to be a little extra careful and a little more diligent in the maintenance of the countertop. Although, whatever amount of effort you put in will likely provide you with a beautiful and functional countertop in return.

Stone countertops for bathrooms are just as functional for the bathroom as they are for the kitchen. Whether you are putting on make-up or brushing your teeth, the countertop will be able to provide you with a beautifully natural surface in which to do it. With the proper amount of maintenance and care, your countertop will remain in good condition for a long time. And just as with stone countertops in the kitchen, the addition of a stone made countertop-no matter what type-in your bathroom will provide a significant amount of added value to your home. In other words, it is an investment well made.
