The kitchen counter top in San Francisco that you choose you will have to live with for a long time. Whether you are building a home or renovating an existing home at some point during the process you will have to choose from a full range of materials for your kitchen counter top. Over the years the style of kitchen counter tops have changed but one style has never went out of style. Stone has been a constant hallmark of quality. Over the years materials have come and gone out of vogue from Formica to engineered stone (counter tops that are made to look like stone but are not) but stone has managed to always stay in the forefront as the best material for kitchen counter tops in San Francisco.
Stone has always been the number one choice of designers. When you are shopping kitchen counter tops in San Francisco keep in mind that other options like:
- Engineered Stone
- Corian
- Other substrates
Are all designed to look like stone. Of course it can be confusing when you are shopping sometimes to even be able to pick out the real stone from the fake stone but once you start using the counter top you will be able to tell the difference. Nothing can beat real natural stone for durability and long term use. Of course you may pay a little more (although in some cases the cost is equal to or less than other materials) but it is well worth the cost for the life that you get out or real stone.
Indestructible
One of the biggest differences between real stone and manufactured or engineered stone is that real stone is virtually indestructible while manufactured or engineered stone cannot hold up to the wear and tear over time. It is very difficult to stain real stone, burn real stone or cause chips to real stone.
Other types of kitchen counter tops come with a litany of “do not’s” or “warnings” when it comes to how you can utilize the material and resulting counter top. Stone can stand up to most all extreme conditions without being marred. Other surfaces require special steps to prevent damage to the surface. Stone can tolerate constant use under extreme conditions and remain looking beautiful.
The Clear Winner
If you want a long lasting beautiful surface in your kitchen that offers a timeless style than you should shop for stone materials instead of considering other lesser quality options.
