Top 6 Stone Kitchen Countertops


Is it time to revamp your kitchen? Countertops make up a large portion of the aesthetics of your kitchen, so the material you use for them should be carefully considered. Don’t forget, there’s also function and practicality to factor into your decision. If you’re confused by all the different countertop materials or if you don’t know where to start, this article brings together some ideas of materials you can use.

Granite countertop

Granite has a lot going for it, making it one of the most popular countertop materials at the moment. It’s visually stunning with lots of unique character, it can withstand heat and scratches from utensils, it’s extremely easy to clean, and it’ll last you a long time. Granite can be an expensive material to use, but it has become more affordable in recent years.

Marble countertop

People adore marble for the timeless, luxury quality it brings to their kitchen. The veining in each slab of marble is different, giving you a unique kitchen countertop. Marble is another durable natural stone, but it is more prone to scratches and stains than granite. It also has a pretty high price tag, so it is often used on features like backsplash and islands rather than the whole kitchen.

Quartz countertop

Because quartz is an engineered stone, it has a few advantages over genuine natural stone. One of which is the number of colors it is available in. Quartz is easy to clean and does not need sealing, unlike some natural stones. It is also durable and heat-resistant, but it’s another material that can get expensive.

Soapstone countertop

Soapstone is a popular material in traditional-style kitchens, although it’s also being used with more modern styles now, as well. It’s not quite as tough as some of the other natural stones. It can be prone to scratches and scuffs, although you may be able to sand these out. It is still pretty resistant to heat and stains, though.

Limestone countertop

Limestone comes in wide variety of colors and patterns, generally all neutral tones. It is a porous stone, so it will need sealing in order to ward off stains and etches. Limestone countertops are great for creating an elegant, luxury aesthetic. Travertine is a type of limestone that’s often used. Your travertine countertop can be finished in different ways to create the appearance you’re after.

Onyx countertops

If you’re looking for a rarer natural stone to add to your kitchen, then you should consider onyx. It creates a striking appearance, especially when backlit, because it is a translucent material. Onyx does not stand up to scratches and stains like the other materials listed here, so it is normally more popular as a backsplash material rather than for your countertops.

Depending on the look you’re going for in your kitchen, there’s bound to be a material out there that’ll suit your needs perfectly. To find the perfect stone for your kitchen countertops, get in touch with Amanzi Granite today.
