We have decided to remodel our kitchen and install new countertops. Synthetic countertops cost slightly less than granite, but how do they compare in the long run?
Imitation / synthetic counter tops are inferior in many ways when compared to granite and marble. Countertops made from acrylic and other synthetic manufactured materials may have the “look” of granite or marble, but the similarities end there. For resistance to bacteria, scratches, stains and overall performance, granite is unsurpassed. Some marbles with honed or matte finishes also make for high quality kitchen countertops.
