What’s your favorite countertop

[Oblivian]

Quartz 100%.

Little more expensive, but almost zero maintenance.

but if I had to choose it again I'd go for wood, and I wouldn't be shy about beating the hell out of it.. the more character the better.

I tried that character line with Wifey about the furniture in the actual Dining Room, did not fly.

Granite sucks because it's easy to finish incorrectly and then becomes really hard to keep clean, bacteria builds up in the tiny little crevices and the kitchen smells like wet dog all the time.

I have made hundreds of wood countertops. They are terrible. The best, in my opinion, are soapstone and zinc.

Go with soapstone if leaning to towards dark green or black. 100% zero maintenance which is why it was the standard in chem labs for hundreds of years. Can't be stained or etched by acid or things like red wines. 100% impervious to heat. Nick and scratches can be fixed with a little sandpaper if they bother you.

Going to be redoing the main kitchen in this so everything in the house matches:

It looks much better in real life and contrasts well with the dark grey cupboards/bench.

A timeless white base of the purest hue, touched by the movement of soft shadows in an interplay of darkness and light.

Wanky description yes but it looks really good and is really high quality.

is granite cheap?

I just bought a house with everything like your second picture. Massive island and I couldn't be more happy with it because it's cold. We make a lot of pasta and bread so dough wise it being cold is perfect.

 

[fingercuffs]

If i were to make something for myself i'd probably go some concrete/epoxy wood hybrid..

If commercial probably some reasonable hardwood or stone.. possible to replace/polish.. all surfaces take wear and tear..

Ladder your tights on that.

Does cleaning it with bleach help?

 

[snowbro]

I like petrified wood

Wowzers

 

[NoSmilez]

Do you guys use your countertop to cut stuff or mead dough? I never got into that because I always treated the counters like a table. Stuff like this video makes me really uncomfortable.

 

[snowbro]

I like marble. I think what I have now is quartz. The wood looks really cool but I wouldn't like working on all that chemical sealant.
