They all use the most economical kitchen countertop material, formica, which is a plastic laminate. This counter material is strong and, relatively, quite stain resistant. It's available in a wide variety and assortment of textures, colors, and styles, and it is rather simple to install. The downsides to using this material include the susceptibility of being cut easily when prepping food and the fact that it's easily burned when a hot pot or pan is set on it. One little wrong placement of a hot pan on your a plastic laminate countertop in your kitchen area, and you'll be stuck with a nice round melt mark. Knife and cut marks in the this type of material tend to harbor dirt and stains that look terrible. The only surefire way around this cheap countertop is to always use a large cutting board, and make sure to have a hot pad around no matter what. There are still a lot of benefits to using this as a countertop material, despite the pitfalls it inherently has.

Having a ceramic tile countertop is quite annoying. Nothing wants to sit quite level. I wouldn't even bother with installing this type of countertop due to the grout lines that make everything seem unstable.

Granite countertops are fantastic. They're stunningly beautiful and super easy to clean. This is an all natural countertop where the material comes from deep within the earth from high pressure and immense heat. Granite will definitely give your kitchen that sous chef atmosphere instantly. The granite material is available in such a wide range of colors, with the surface of the material coming in such a wide spectrum of colors. Granite's deep glowing tone is the allure that people are looking for. The biggest issues with Granite is the expense, and the other issue is that it sucks the heat out of anything you set on it. Granite is typically $100 to $150 per square foot of countertop space. This type of countertop may require a backsplash that can add to that price quite rapidly. If you can afford a granite installation, you'll never be disappointed in your selection.
