At Imperial Counters, we love outfitting Twin
Cities homes with new countertops. We have helped many potential customers through
the decision making process. Researching all the selections on your own can get
tedious, so we thought we'd give you some insider's tips on how to choose the
best countertops for your Twin Cities home.
Choosing a Countertop
Material
When you first begin looking for new countertops, the
selection may seem overwhelming. There are many different types of materials,
all of which have their advantages and disadvantages. Many times it comes down
to personal preference, but it's always wise to make an informed decision. Here
is some basic information on the countertop materials we offer:
·
Solid
Surface products are 100% acrylic and acrylic blend. These types of countertops
give you the most flexibility in terms of design and color.
·
Granite is an igneous rock, formed when magma
cools under the earth's surface. It is one of the toughest rocks there are. It
is made up of mostly quartz, mica and feldspar.
·
Engineered
quartz is made up of approximately 93% natural quartz, and 7% pigments and
polyester resin. It is very easy to maintain because it's non-porous.
·
Laminate
countertops are formed by a process of pressure treating core paper and
resins. This is by far the most cost-friendly countertop option.
We can work with you to pick the best option for your home.
It may depend on personal style, as well as your home's existing decor. Each of
these countertop materials have multiple color options, edge profiles and
finishes to choose from. There is sure to be a countertop in our sock for you!
