There are plenty of kitchen countertops to choose from, and that choice can be overwhelming for many homeowners. The fact of the matter is that each material has differences in features, options, and price so the answer should be clear once we answer each of these questions.
Quartzite countertops are one of the more expensive options for your kitchen.
It's very scratch and heat-resistant, meaning you don't have to worry about two of the most damaging occurrences in your kitchen. It is a direct cutout from a rock so there will be some very pretty veining throughout, but this will cause the price to rise even higher.
Granite is another great option that's a bit more cost-effective. It has similar scratch and heat resistance to quartzite, but the pattern is considered less appealing, so the price reflects that. It's still coming from a full rock though, so a machining process is required.
Butcher block is an interesting option for your kitchen countertops, as it's really not scratch nor heat resistant, and it will also soak liquid spills very easily. Despite this, it's a beautiful surface that is normally recommended for low-impact areas.
