Are you remodeling your bathroom? If so, you’re not alone. The home renovation and remodeling market are huge. According to Allied Market Research, the natural stone market is expected to reach over $50 billion by 2030. As part of your project, you’re likely looking at stone for your countertops. Stone is very popular because it offers a natural look, it comes in a wide range of colors and styles, and it’s durable, especially against water damage. But which type of stone is right for you? Below are three types of stone commonly used in bathrooms and the benefits of each.
1. Granite
Granite is a classic design option that comes in a nearly unlimited range of styles. It’s cut from completely natural stone. No two cuts of granite are the same, which means your granite counter will be totally unique. Granite is also very durable and isn’t damaged by water, which makes it perfect for a bathroom remodel. Granite is often on the higher end of the price range but well worth it in the long run. This option makes for a wonderful choice in any bathroom.
2. Marble
Marble is a luxurious choice that can work in any style of bathroom. Many companies sell engineered marble which is a mix of marble and resin. The resin provides a durable coat that protects the marble and prevents dents, scratches, and scuffs. The resin doesn’t affect the marble’s appearance, so you still get a luxurious counter in your new bathroom.
3. Quartz
Quartz is an extremely popular choice for bathroom remodels. It’s highly durable and water resistant, and it’s often more affordable than granite and marble. Most quartz countertops are engineered to be a composite of quartz stone. Quartz is often available in a wide range of colors and styles. Many quartz countertops have specks of other colors blended in and may even have fun textures to really make your bathroom pop. A quartz countertop is a great addition to any bathroom and can give you a luxurious look without breaking the bank.
