Today's countertops offer a mix of old standbys and new technologies. Laminate, ceramic tile, and natural stone continue to be popular, but solid-surfaces (synthetics that mimic or even improve upon real stone) should not be overlooked when contemplating your design.

No matter what's most important to you in planning your new bath or kitchen – style, space, or function – Better Living Building Supply offers the latest in countertops surfaces and cabinets to meet your needs.

Laminates Laminate kitchen countertops are the most common option and are made out of a synthetic material comprised of several layers of kraft paper, a decorative paper, and a melamine plastic coating. The kraft paper results in a dark edge to the countertop. A slightly more expensive alternative with no dark edge is solid-color laminate, which is made of a colored plastic throughout.

Composites Composite countertops offer practicality along with warm colors that fit well with most decorating styles. Made from paper and plastic resin, this material looks similar to other solid-surface countertops but because it's only about one-third plastic, it has a more natural look and feel.

Natural Stone Granite, marble, limestone and Jerusalem stone are among those classified as natural stone or the ultimate in countertops. Among this group, granite is the most durable. It is impervious to heat, easy to care for, and available in hundreds of colors to compliment any decor. Marble, a traditional favorite for rolling dough and creating gourmet meals, gives any installation an elegant, romantic look, compromising strength with a virtually endless color selection. Limestone and Jerusalem stone have a similar look but are not as strong. Quartz offers a large selection of colors and textures that boast strength, consistency and beauty.

Solid Surface Avonite, Corian, and Swanstone are some of the popular brands of solid surface countertops. They are made in a solid sheet and are ideal for countertops and other surfacing applications where extreme durability, versatility and lasting beauty are a must. Their nonporous surface is easy to clean and completely renewable. And because they are thermoformable, they can be molded or shaped to fit any design you can imagine.
