Things to Consider About Countertops

With so many countertops to choose from, which is the best choice? There are Laminates and Solid Surface Materials, Avonite, Ceasarstone, Granite, Formica, Hanex, Wilsonart, Pionite, Corian, Silestone, Staron, Zodiac, Swanstone and Gibraltar just to name few of the manufacturers. Then there's edge style and backsplashes in addition to the color and texture. My advice is to take some laminate samples home and make a decision at a leisurely pace.

Cultured marble has been around for awhile and has proven to be a great surface for bathroom sinks. Baths Plus offers Custom Cast Marble which is available in different grade tops, each achieved with a similar but different technique.

Did you know that you can have cultured marble walls for your shower or tub area to match perfectly with the sink top? Tops are available with shell, oval, round bowls and rectangles. These tops are easy to clean, inexpensive, and are also available with fancy edge treatments.

Granite and stones... I love the look of Granite and use it every chance I get. The colors and designs are beautiful. If you are thinking about solid surface, do consider getting a quote on granite.

Laminates are the most cost effective and there are hundreds of patterns and designs to choose from, let alone the shapes! You can be very creative with laminates, maybe even combine materials. Formica, Wilsonart and Pionite are three of the leading manufacturers.
