The Stone Both Could Be Used in Kitchen Bathroom

According to the tests of a dozen popular materials, some of the most beautiful counters are actually also the most practical.  For instance, top performing quartz and granite are both stylish and strong, though typically needs periodic resealing. Laminate, the chameleon of countertop materials, is easier on the wallet and proved remarkably stain and heat resistant in our simulation of everyday abuse.

Though bathroom counters typically see less wear and tear than kitchen counters, you might want to limit low-scoring materials to powder rooms or lightly-used guest bathrooms. We spent weeks staining, scratching, scorching and pounding materials from trendy stone to classic laminate to find the ones that will hold up best in your bathroom. We found few differences among brands, which is why our Ratings are by material.
You should learn to know your. Engineered stone, recycled glass, laminate, and solid surfacing are likely to match the samples you see in the store. But with granite, marble, limestone and soapstone, color, veining and grain vary from slab to slab and even within a single slab. So visit the stone yard and if you see a piece you love, put a deposit on it; otherwise it may not be there when you return.
