Should your countertops make a dramatic statement or evoke tranquility? Selecting from a multitude of material and color options when choosing your countertop allows for your true personality and style to be seen. One of the most cost-efficient ways of updating your kitchen is to simply add a new countertop to your existing cabinets. When choosing your countertop, it is essential to know the characteristics of each material. The details provided below will help you to make the right choice for your needs.

	DuPont Corian Solid Surface Corian is a solid surface countertop material that is nonporous, which means it never needs to be sealed. Corian has high stain and heat resistance, as well as, extreme resistance to bacteria and mold. In most cases, if your Corian top is damaged, the countertop can be repaired. The engineered product offers a seamless appearance and minor nicks and scratches are easy to buff away. Corian also features an integral sink option, to get a clean seamless appearance around your sink. To learn more about Corian, click here.
	Granite Granite countertops have always received high praise for their beauty, which is unique to every slab unearthed. No two granite countertops are the same as they occur naturally in the earth’s crust. Unlike man-made countertop surfaces, granite is porous and needs to be sealed routinely to help prevent staining and bacteria growth. Granite also has a high resistance to scratches and heat.

	Silestone Quartz Silestone Quartz is made from natural quartz, which makes it naturally scratch-resistant. Only three other natural minerals are harder than quartz: sapphire, diamond, and topaz. In addition to being scratch resistant, Silestone Quartz is also stain resistant, heat resistant, and it has four times the flexural strength than that of granite.

	Soapstone Soapstone is a natural countertop surface and is quarried like granite and marble. The talc in soapstone gives the surface the smooth feeling of rubbing a dry piece of soap. It also possesses natural heat retention characteristics. It is recommended that your soapstone top be sealed with mineral oil or stone sealer periodically as this works as a protective layer on the surface of the stone.
	Laminate Wilsonart, Formica, Pionite, and Nevamar are all brands of laminate countertops offered by Acorn Cabinetry. The differences among the four brands are the color and finish options. Laminate is not scratch resistant, stain resistant, or heat resistant. Laminate has the lowest cost point compared to all of the tops listed above; therefore, it is a popular choice for those who are budget-conscious. Overall laminate is the least durable of all other surfaces mentioned and requires more maintenance, but it is also the most affordable.
