What Are Bathroom Vanity Tops Made Of
Bathroom vanity counter tops are a great way to create extra counter and storage space, while adding to the appearance of the room. Bathroom vanities are made of many different materials that each have their own advantages.
 

Durability

·         Stone counter tops made from granite and marble are very durable, as are those made of stainless steel. Granite does not stain, while tile and stainless steel vanities are more susceptible to damage.

Appearance

·         Granite, marble and quartz counter tops offer a classic, clean look. Synthetic materials like tile and laminate can be designed to take on any appearance a homeowner desires.

Installation

·         Lighter vanity counter tops made of laminate can be installed easily, many times without professional help. Heavier materials like granite almost always require assistance.

Maintenance

·         Granite and quartz counter tops are easy to clean, but granite does need to be sealed every six months to a year. Tile counter tops are often more difficult to deal with, as they accumulate residue in their cracks.

Cost

·         Bathroom vanity counter tops made from natural materials like granite, quartz, or marble are much more expensive than synthetically made materials, such as tile or laminate.
