Marble countertops are a popular choice among many American kitchens due to their design and versatility, and that they match numerous kitchen styles. However, they are prone to getting stained and scratched pretty easily. Here are three great alternatives to marble countertops.
Quartz Countertops
Marble and quartz countertops share similar appearances with subtle differences here and there, such as the pattern and the countertop finishes. One benefit that stands out when using a quartz countertop is that it requires significantly less maintenance compared to marble countertops. Quartz countertops also come in multiple patterns to match your home’s style, and you have a myriad of options to choose from, depending on your taste, style or the overall vibe you want.
For modern kitchens, Calacatta Natura is a great option that accents your kitchen with a linear design that gives you a taste of the future. For contemporary homes, Bianco Dolomite evokes a fresh vibe with the sporadic patterns that are displayed over the countertop.
White Concrete
Much like marble countertops, white concrete features the veiny patterns for which marble countertops are known. Unlike marble, concrete surfaces are stain and heat resistant, which is the main drawback of marble countertops. White concrete works well with traditional kitchens since it adds a modern flair to the kitchen while remaining very affordable.
Compact Surfaces
This countertop is great for homeowners who want a thinner profile for their kitchen. Compact surfaces have gained popularity over the last decade due to their resemblance to marble while maintaining a more slender format compared to its predecessors. They also come in multiple patterns, which appeal to multiple kitchen styles. Some of these examples include Aura, which is inspired by traditional Calacatta and Carrara marbles, and Entzo, which features the traditional marble pattern with gold hues that are reminiscent of Calacatta gold.
