complete your homewith the perfect kitchen countertop

pricing of countertops based on the material

Kitchen countertops are the ambassador of the overall décor. The cabinets, backsplash, flooring, and colour are all introduced and accented by it. However, with such a wide array of options available, it can seem like an impossible task to pick one out. Whether you’re looking to increase the value of your home or are looking to upgrade the current countertop, you should make sure you know what you’re signing up for since it’s a pretty important investment. They can cost anywhere between $20 to $250 per square foot, depending on the material and quality. Here are some of the most common types and their average cost per square foot.

• Granite – Granite is popular mainly because of its resistance to heat and scratches. It is a natural stone and slightly more expensive than others but is one of the most durable options in the market. You can pay anywhere between $40 to $200 per sq. ft. but this depends on the type of granite you choose.
• Quartz – It is an engineered stone and made of resin which means there are more varieties available than other stone alternatives. Since it’s more flexible, there is lesser chance it will crack, especially when being installed. Although it looks like a natural stone, it comes without the imperfections and is a much more hard-working material. Despite it being man-made, you can expect to pay as little as $60 to $150 per sq. ft. and enjoy the countertop for many years.

other materials which can be used to make countertops

• Laminate – Though most consider laminate as a “cheap” option, it can be perfect for someone working on a tight budget. It’s made with layers of plastic or paper and resin and the high-quality ones are waterproof and durable. On an average, laminate countertops can be purchased for $20 to $50 per sq. ft.
• Marble – Marble is much softer than other stones, which makes it easier to work with. It is cool to the touch and heat-resistant along with being naturally stunning with a vast range of colours and patterns to choose from. However, it is much more susceptible to scratches and chips due to its softness. Being porous, its can easily stain unless sealed properly. The price range of marble varies between $125 to $250 per sq. ft.
• Concrete – This material is mainly used outdoors due to its sturdiness. But, with added pigments, it can be made to match with any kitchen décor. Though apparently cheap, you may need to shell out between $70 to $150 per sq. ft. but the price may vary depending on the types of pigments or dyes that are used to stain it.
• Stainless Steel – These countertops are finding their way out of commercial kitchens and into regular households. Its durability, ease of maintenance and sleek look makes it perfect for any décor style. Their price range varies between $75 to $150 and is very easy to install.
