bathroom countertop
We're redoing the bathroom and will probably install new countertop. We are
leaning towards granite, but haven't made any decisions. Countertop is 8 ft long, about 2.5 ft wide. Currently have marble with 2 sinks as part of the countertop. It is about 35 years old. There seems to be a multitude of countertop material. Which material is best to use for the bathroom? I will probably have someone do the install. Thanks |

Help resale of house? easy to clean? Lou |

Thanks You have a wide choice, all with pros and cons for bathrooom use: Sheet Stainless Steel Laminate Quartz in resin Glass chips in resin Cultured marble Marble Corion and other solid surfaces Concrete Concrete with chips of various substances in it Granite Slate Glass I am sure that I missed a few. No one can tell you what is best for your use, do a few hours of on-line research to learn about them all. I am remodeling a bathroom. We went through various ideas and finally settled on something we would have never considered when starting. We chose a coloured glass countertop with a moulded sink in it. It was perfect for our use. It provided maximum countertop surface and no seams nor joints and simple and easy to keep clean. Other choices could have provided similar features but this fit into our needs. |

As you're standing there brushing your teeth, your testicles are soaking up the incipient radioactivity emitted by granite. Here's a NY Times article on the subject: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/24/garden/24granite.html This is not an issue with kitchen countertops as they are about ten inches higher and bother only breasts. |

To each his own, but I might select white oak for a bathroom countertop. |

COOL! You won't need antibacterial spray cleaners. One problem, the insect pests will probably mutate, grow to six feet in length and eat you. TDD |
