HOW TO CHOOSE BETWEEN DIFFERENT COUNTERTOP MATERIALS 

  1. Clarify your countertop goals: Is your countertop for the bathroom or kitchen? Somewhere else in the house? It’s essential to clarify your ideal countertop goals and how you envision the result. Think about how you will use your countertops, and consider how much maintenance you’re willing to do. Pick a material that best accommodates the amount of space you use. Also, identify your budgeting goals while you figure out your countertop goals – best to keep things realistic. 
  2. Narrow down your options: Conduct research to gain an understanding of what you’d like – from colors, style, patterns to, of course, material. Once you have your countertop goal in mind, figure out your options. Other aspects to consider include essentials like practical elements, design, porous materials, durability, easiness of cleaning, theme, etc.

Remnants

At Bad Lizard, we provide stones for you to choose from:

  • Granite: Known for its robustness and variety of colors and textures. It’s a versatile choice that works wonders in kitchens. 
  • Quartz: An engineered stone. Its small crystals bound with resin reinforce the resilience of the material. 
  • Marble: An igneous stone with a wide variety of colors and hues that brings an elegant look to your kitchen or bathroom. 
  • Soapstone: Made from quarried stone with a high talc content. 

Remnants

We also offer the option of remnants. Remnants are considered to be leftover stone materials comprised of a specific bundle that isn’t large enough for a full-size kitchen project. Also, they’re an inexpensive alternative that adds value to bathrooms and fireplaces.
