As you plan out your kitchen renovation project, you are probably looking for a countertop material that won’t require much maintenance. Fortunately, there are many options available to you. Here are our recommendations for the best low-maintenance countertops.
Stainless Steel
This material is great for countertops as it doesn’t require any sealing or finishing and only minimal maintenance. It’s easy to clean (mild soap and water) and won’t get stained by food, juice or any other type of edible liquid. It’s also highly heat-resistant, so it can easily handle hot pots and pans. It’s also very durable and long-lasting.
Recycled Glass
Recycled glass is still a fairly new product, although it has been steadily gaining popularity due to its affordable price and low maintenance requirements. The material is made from crushed glass embedded in clear resin, with a finished surface that is smooth and completely nonporous. Just like stainless steel, you won’t need any special chemicals to clean recycled glass countertops. They also have great resistance to heat and stains.
Quartz
Quartz is a popular material that’s available in many styles and colors, so it will be easy to find the countertop that fits your kitchen design. It is favored by many homeowners because it performs like more expensive stone countertops such as marble and granite, without the high maintenance requirements. Quartz countertops are also stain-resistant and nonporous while being one of the more affordable materials on the market.
Laminate
Laminate is a popular material because it’s highly durable, affordable and low-maintenance. It also comes in hundreds of colors and patterns, complementing almost any type of kitchen. It never needs to be sealed or finished, and you can easily replace it if you want a different color or pattern for your kitchen. You won’t need to worry about moisture seeping into it since it’s completely nonporous.
