Kitchen countertop

11 years ago

I'm currently picking out a kitchen for my first home :)
My question is on which type of countertop to go for. I would like a a cream stone counter top which looks like a composite and one which I can leave hot pots and pans on.
I priced what my local countertop store called a "quartz" but it is not recommended that hot pots are left on this as it may effect it.
Which type of countertop should I be looking for?

Even with natural stone countertop it's more ideal not to place hot pots in direct contact for more durability.

Hot pots should stay on the stove, on a stone/metal trivet or on a thick butcher block that can be scorched and put away. The heat from hot pots and pans can discolor whatever is on/in the granite (sealers, cooking oil in the porous surface), cause seams to open on engineered stone and solid surface tops. Suggest your read the Use and Care Manuals published by the manufacturers available on line.

what blue shade would work in North facing kitchen, with a strong warm toned hardwood maple floor? I'd like to pick warm blue that's isn't too on trend. Any advice on a budget counter top replacement please? I'm thinking with a dark blue, like F&B hague Blue, or lighter like stone blue or lighter again.... without being too grey looking. Any advice greatly appreciated. we're going to get it professionally sprayed and alot paint the tiles, probably a warm white.

You're young, get in the habit of using trivits and other means to protect your possessions. Nothing is indestructible. Read manufacturer's recommendations and follow them.
