When it comes to choosing a countertop surface, there are many considerations, besides just the overall look. Do you do a lot of baking? (Granite countertops are great for working with dough.) Do you do a lot of cooking? (Butcher-block countertops are a favorite of weekend gourmets.) Looking for something relatively new to the surfacing market? (Try the fun and funky look of concrete.) Love the look and ease of cleaning in commercial facilities? (Stainless steel fits the bill nicely.) In search of a countertop with no limits when it comes to color? (Then checking out Corian and Avonite is a must!)
