Walking into the bathroom is something we do as a natural part of life. Some bathrooms are dated and not as inviting as they could be. Walking in and out of a bathroom you don’t love can get frustrating after a while. Do you live in Main Line PA and are looking to upgrade your bathroom? A great way to add style to your bathroom and functionality is to consider installing a new countertop. New bathroom countertops are a great way to make a statement. There are many materials to choose from, and they can help to set the tone of the room. For example, the stainless steel countertop looks great in a bathroom with a modern style. Glass countertops can also look great, but they can be a challenge to keep clean. Here are some of the most common materials used for bathroom countertops.
Tile
Tile has been a popular material for bathroom countertops for a long time. It comes in all shapes and sizes. Because of this, many people use it for custom designs. There is one drawback though, grout. Grout is what goes in between each tile. It helps make the bathroom countertop surface waterproof. It can collect germs and so it must be cleaned regularly. An excellent way to work around the grout issue is to choose a color that doesn’t show dirt easily yet still works well with the color of the tile. The cost for plain one color tile is cheaper than hand-painted tiles.
Granite
Granite has been used for countertops both in the kitchen and bathroom for a long time. It is durable, so it lasts for many years. It is also stain resistant which makes it easy to clean. Of all the natural stone materials available for countertops, granite is the most durable and easiest to care for. An excellent way to shop for granite is to check your local stone shops and compare prices. You can also purchase the granite tiles, but these usually cost more per square foot than a solid slab.
