When I was growing up, everyone had laminate countertops in their kitchen. It was inexpensive, fairly durable and "in." It was the latest and greatest. Now days granite tops most charts as the "need to have" countertop. It's true that granite has a long list of pros and in my opinion, a weak list of cons. That doesn't mean that it's the best and only option for kitchens all across America. Some people can't afford to lay a slab of granite or don't really like the way it looks. Not to mention that granite isn't always the best choice for every design.
Recently I was looking through the new issue of Martha Stewart and in the back was a reader question about kitchen countertops.
Martha listed the materials followed by a pro and con list. Unfortunately she left out a growingly popular material. Quartz surfaces(Caesarstone, Silestone).
So here in the design studio, we put together our own list of countertop options.
