A Basic Guide to Vanity Countertops

Your choice of vanity top can affect your bathroom’s overall appearance and functionality. When making a decision, it’s important to know what type of countertop is best for you, especially if your bathroom is frequently used by different household members.

In this post, Envy Home Services shares tips to help you select the ideal vanity countertop for your home.

Design vs. Function

Unlike kitchen countertops, vanity countertops are not usually exposed to frequent heat and sharp objects. This allows you to choose from a wider range of design options that will complement the other parts of your bathroom. Moreover, most vanity tops are already designed and built with different features to ensure convenience and durability. That said, it’s best to determine the functionality you want when deciding on a countertop material.

Popular Material Options

Granite

When it comes to bathroom vanity tops, granite is usually a top choice among property owners. This material is known for its natural look, which often features various textures and colors. Granite countertops are also incredibly durable, so they are more expensive than other options and require professional installation.

Engineered Quartz

This material is made of a combination of quartz particles and polymer resins. Engineered quartz is not a natural stone, but it is highly resistant to stains and scratches. It is also more durable and affordable than granite, making it a more cost-effective option for homeowners.

Solid Surface

Compared to the materials mentioned above, solid surface is the least expensive. This type of countertop material is usually made from acrylic, but there are other options to choose from if you want your countertop to mimic the appearance of wood, stone, quartz or granite.
