Everyone loves the look of wood.

Wood furniture, floors, and even wooden beams overhead. It brings a bit of the outdoors inside. It's a warm and natural look and, believe it or not, it is also an excellent option for your kitchen countertops.

Professional chefs and home cooks have been using wood and butcher block for their kitchen counters and islands for decades.

Because wood is a neutral material, it can be used with any design style - French country to modern contemporary. It goes well with stainless steel, natural stone or tile backsplashs, and it's available in a variety of woods, colors, and stains. But a wood or butcher block countertop is more than just aesthetically pleasing. It's extremely practical, too.

Advantages of a Butcher Block Countertop
Butcher block counters are made from hardwoods, like maple or oak. And just like a small cutting board, you're able to cut directly on the surface of a butcher block countertop - you won't mark the surface and you won't dull sharp knives.

These counters are very durable. They are made by gluing strips of hardwood together, then adhesives are added and the wood is heated and pressure-treated. Oils are added to bring out natural colors and the countertop is finished, ready to go, and resistant to water. If there are any deep or obvious scratches, the surface can be sanded.

As far as passing along germs from foods, the wood surface is a porous material. However, studies have shown that a treated and sealed wood counter are just as safe as a laminate or solid surface counter - the properties of the wood actually prevent germ colonies from surviving long on the surface.

Wood counters are usually more expensive than laminates or tile countertops, but less expensive than granite and other natural stone materials.

Cost of a Butcher Block Counter
Usually a butcher block counter runs from $60 to $85 a square foot.

Ready to remodel your kitchen?

I have an option for your countertop material. Everyone wants granite but cannot afford it's hefty price tag. But there is an alternative...

It is what's known as solid surface counters. These counters are basically made out of solid plastic. Colors and particles are added when the surface is made to give a wide range of designs with a natural stones mottled or veined look.

It's recommended that very hot items not be placed on the surface or the it could crack or leave a burn mark. The counters can be installed for around $50 to $60 per square foot. There are many brands available - Formica, Avonite, and Corian, for example.

Granite countertops.

It's the only item one needs to mention when describing a newly renovated kitchen. Whenever someone embarks on a kitchen remodel, new granite for the counters seems to be a prerequisite.

What's so special about granite and why does everyone want it in their kitchen?

Advantages of Granite Kitchen Counters

• Granite is a gorgeous natural stone, perfect for the kitchen. There are tons of colors and grains to choose from and no two counters are alike. The beauty of granite counters is unsurpassed which explains why it's usually the number one choice for anyone remodeling a kitchen.

• Granite countertops are resistant to bacteria. The natural stone is not as porous as, say, a wood butcher block countertop might be. It's easy to clean off the counter and prevent passing any microbial content to other food or surfaces on the counter. Stainless steel and granite are the best at preventing the spread of bacteria.
  

• Some countertop materials can be easily scratched, including some other natural stones like marble. A kitchen countertop sees heavily and regular use in most homes, so having a scratch resistant surface is very important.

• Granite countertops are also capable of handling high temperatures and this heat resistance is invaluable in any kitchen.
  

• For the same reasons that the granite surface is resistant to bacteria, it's also very easy to clean your granite countertops.
  

Disadvantages of Granite Countertops

• Got Style? Granite is a great surface for a counter. But not every home is the right for granite. People try to force it into every style of home even when the style doesn't call for granite.
  

• Got Seams? Granite seams are commonplace. Seams are inevitable on natural stone. However, the seams can be filled with epoxy and color-matched to help the seams appear less visible.

• Money, Money, Money - It can be very expensive to purchase and have granite counters installed.

• Seal It Tight - Sealers are required on granite counters on a yearly basis so this adds to the maintenance requirements.

If you're looking to add granite countertops to your kitchen (or bathroom), consider submitting your project for at no cost to ConstructionDeal.com. You'll get several bids from local countertop installation companies which saves you time. Having multiple bids to choose from means that you'll save money.
