Bathroom countertop materials

13 years ago

Hi,
We are beginning our build on our home this month. We are going with granite counter tops in the kitchen and master bath. We are trying to decide on a cheaper counter top (not laminate) for the other bathrooms. What are some options for use that will be durable?

I'm looking at Ceasarstone for my bathroom vanity top. It doesn't stain or etch and requires no maintenance at all. That's my idea of perfection.

What look are you going for?

I have concrete. It cost me six dollars, but I had to build a form. It's pretty durable.
Tile is another option.

From the quotes I have it looks like granite is cheaper than quartz. Corian may be cheaper than both granite and quartz but the prices all depend on the Color selected.

Really, granite can be quite cheap. If you have ruled out laminate, then find yourself some remnants.
