Bathroom Countertops
Even more than kitchen countertops, bathroom countertops can focus on design and styling because they have less functional demands for daily use.

Bathroom Countertop Materials
Marble – Marble countertops may be the most popular and elegant material on the market. Give your bathroom a touch of Roman culture by installing solid marble. If you are looking for a cost efficient marble material, Cultured Marble can be used to cut costs as well. Our designers can even suggest marble countertop alternatives to fit your budget.
Corian® – For an easy to clean, low maintenance surface that can be customized a variety of ways, choose Corian. Corian countertops are easily repaired if damaged, and come in many different patterns and colors.
Granite – Granite countertops are sturdy and reliable. Because they are stain resistant, they can actually last the life of your home. You will need to reseal a granite countertop semiannually, however, in order to keep their elegant looks.
Concrete – Cost efficient and easily customizable, solid surface concrete countertops are a reliable choice for any remodeling project. Concrete can be formed into any desired shape for your countertop meaning you have almost endless choices for vanity/sink combinations. It is also scratch resistant so you can count on its durability as well.
Laminate – For the most popular cost effective option, laminate countertops are the way to go. Laminate will last longer in the bathroom than the kitchen because there is less of a chance that it will be damaged from knives. As a bonus, laminate countertops can be designed to replicate natural stone and other surfaces at a fraction of the price.
