Stone countertops elevate kitchen decor
Look to your
countertops to create a wow factor in your kitchen. If you choose
natural stone, you'll add a luxurious element that complements any
cabinet and appliance style. Stone comes in many colors, and
accessories can be matched to the colors you choose. Two contrasting
colors, black and white, are popular today, and both offer an upscale
look. Staggs Floor Covering brings the latest countertop styles to the
Marion, Indiana area.
Granite countertops
Homeowners choose
granite for their countertops more often than any other natural
stone. Granite most often has speckles of colors, but some stones
have long elegant veins. The durable countertops, cut from a pure
granite slab, resist scratches, stains, water, and heat. The stone
must be sealed every year. Granite comes in thousands of colors as
well as a wide variety of veining patterns. Rare colors and veining
patterns are more costly. Blue is the rarest color. This type of
countertop, prized by homeowners, can increase the value of a home.
Marble and more
While granite is the
perennial top choice, other stones like marble and soapstone are just
as eye-catching. Marble countertops are available in many colors and
patterns. The porous stone needs to be sealed periodically. Marble
won’t chip or dent, and it’s heat resistant. Soapstone is
available in a limited number of colors that tend to be darker than
other stones. Heat resistant soapstone does not need to be sealed.
The stone is not affected by acids, and it doesn’t stain.
Quartz
Quartz, an alternative
to natural stone, is composed of quartz crystals and resin. Kitchen
countertops come in a wide variety of colors and patterns that often
mimic the patterns found in natural stone. Countertops made with this
engineered stone are virtually maintenance-free. Like soapstone, the
nonporous material does not need to be sealed. It is heat and impact
resistant. Also, it tolerates acids and resists stains and scratches.
Quartz is one of the hardest materials available, making it more
durable than granite.
