  1. Marble: A classic, well-loved stone, marble offers a dignified look combined with an easy fit into most kitchen designs. It’s not as tough and durable as other types of stone countertop materials, but its beauty makes it a consistently popular choice.
  2. Soapstone: Soapstone is colorful and usually contains interesting patterns. It’s a popular choice for its resistance to stains and overall toughness.
  3. Recycled glass and cement: This combination of material creates a visually striking countertop surface with plenty of character. It’s also an environmentally friendly option.
  4. Recycled paper: Recycled paper, sometimes called paperstone, seems an unlikely material. However, the combination of paper, resins and colorings produce a durable, attractive counter surface that often resembles soapstone.
  5. Solid surface: Solid surface materials are made of advanced plastics shaped and molded with heat. It can be made to look like other materials, but it’s tougher and more damage-resistant than other stone or plastic options.
  6. Bamboo: Natural materials such as bamboo produce very appealing and usable countertops while adhering to principles of eco-friendliness.
  7. Engineered quartz: Engineered quartz is a manufactured material that combines quartz, pigments and resins to create a strong, nonporous material. It’s available in multiple colors and is also an eco-friendly choice.
