Kitchen counters: natural stone

When the time comes to remodel your kitchen, it’s important to choose a kitchen counter that corresponds to your budget, your sense of style and the way you intend to use your kitchen. Cuisines Verdun offers several different kitchen counter materials, including natural stone counters.

When you choose natural stone for your kitchen counter, you get a design that’s completely unique, as it’s a product of nature. There’s no limit to the possible configurations: beveled edges and a rounded profile, an angle cut on the upper or lower border, a thin surface, sleek and streamlined, modern or classic, cascading, more ornate, natural and rustic, etc.

Natural stone kitchen counters: granite

Granite is a 100 percent natural stone that is polished and cut to the exact specifications of your kitchen. The design is specific to each cut. Resistant to heat, UV rays and stains, granite is easy to maintain and doesn’t require sealants to preserve its quality. Furthermore, the essential properties of natural stones like granite are adapted to maintain the surface in perfect condition, resulting in maximum functionality. Granite is also great for use in outdoor kitchens. You can choose from a wide variety of textures and finishes, and the range of colors and patterns is nearly infinite. It’s also worth noting that the price of granite is comparable to that of quartz.

Natural stone kitchen counters: marble

A fine material, marble is highly valued by chefs who make fresh pasta dishes and pastries right on the countertop, as the surface of marble remains permanently cold. Although marble is easy to clean with a little soapy water, it tends to stain more easily than granite. However, as long as the countertop is cleaned fairly quickly, this shouldn’t present a problem. Available in several different colors, marble is a natural stone that isn’t necessarily as expensive as granite.

Natural stone kitchen counters: porcelain

While it’s relatively uncommon in the world of kitchen counters, porcelain offers a multitude of advantages. Very dense, it’s resistant to heat and stains. A number of beautiful finishes are available on the market, depending on the desired style. This material can also be used in backsplashes.

Wood as a natural countertop material

Wood kitchen counters, which are generally restricted to butcher block in maple, walnut or oak, can add warmth and practicality to just about any kitchen. However, it’s important to maintain them every day to prevent the accumulation of mold and mildew. Wood countertops are available in a number of different stains, grains and thicknesses.
