countertops

Granite countertops, I know they're expensive and trendy but I still want them.

I'm sure you can afford it with all the boy scouts you sold to the Philippines.

Aren't they actually not that great though? Like they scratch easily or something?

We have some kind of composite with the sunken sink. Super durable.

I would love butcher block counters...but I imagine they would get nasty? I wonder what the care/upkeep is for them.

granite or marble are nice. Quartz is more expensive but I don't like the look of it. As long as you properly upkeep them they shouldnt scratch. buy a cutting board

Marble ftw

So would wood. You just have to make sure to always use a cutting board.

we dont care where you clip your toe nails selma

Granite is porous and does hold bacteria. Granite & especially natural marble can scratch & lose it's appeal over time. I had a Cararra White marble top in my bathroom & after 2 years it looked dull & shitty.

Quartz is the best top out there. Quartz does not hold bacteria like Granite does. It also is twice the strength of granite. What quartz lacks is the natural beauty of granite. Granite has a natural flow to the stone with most colors. While quartz is made by man it looks unnatural.
But recently Cambria quartz has come out with the ability to make quartz tops look like natural flowing stone. Also Cambria is the only quartz product with a lifetime warranty & is 100% made in the USA.

I've read quartz is more durable, less maintenance, granite has character

That's another thing I forgot to mention. Granite as being a natural stone needs to be sealed at least every other year compared to quartz having zero maintenance. What damages unsealed granite the most is oil & most fruits, vegetables, meals ect have oil.

I want a carbon fiber countertop. Everything is better when it's made of carbon fiber.

Graphene!

While you're right about marble and granite being porous (carrera being one of the worst, granite depending on type being better) quartz damages when exposed to any acid or alkaline. Even the lemon juice or coca-cola or bleach can fuck it right up if left on it for more than a few minutes. It's also not heat resistant and you can never place anything hot directly on it, unlike granite, so if it's for counter tops near a stove Granite is a far better decision.

lol. this is something i've never thought about. I remember apartment hunting with my girlfriend and she was so picky about that stuff. I really just wanted to know if there were bed bugs, any sex offenders, subsidized housing close by and decent sound proofing because i shit bricks.
