Do I need a new kitchen countertop?

Do you have an outdated ugly kitchen countertop? Maybe your concrete counter has serious damage from years of use or your laminate countertop looks worn and just plain depressing. When considering your kitchen remodel, you might need to install a new counter. A solid surface can help you find the ideal solution for your remodel.  

Is Your Countertop Damaged?  

Your counter might be damaged for a number of reasons. In fact, one of the top reasons that countertops need updating during a kitchen remodel is considerable damage over time:  

  • Laminate edge seams are susceptible to serious water damage 
  • Stone and concrete tile need continuous sealing 
  • Wood countertops warp with water damage and moisture 
  • Knives cause damage to concrete counters 
  • Water spots and scratches ruin stainless steel 
  • Stone surfaces require regular sealing to prevent damage 

Unfortunately, because you constantly use your kitchen counter, scratches, mould, and water damage easily occurs. Maybe a guest placed a hot pot on the laminate surface, burning the material. Perhaps your older home has traditional wooden countertops warped from decades of moisture. No matter the reason, you might find that past a few scratches or a stain here or there, you are desperately in need of a new countertop.  

Water Damage 

Wood surfaces especially remain susceptible to water damage over time. Moisture builds up bacteria and mould, resulting in an unclean, unhealthy surface. The water warps the wooden surface substantially. Over time, the wood may sustain irreparable damage. Other surfaces like stainless steel may have some minor issues with moisture. Any porous surface can store up bacteria and mould. 

Impact and Heat 

Finally, the forceful impacts and extreme heat can result in stains and cracks. For example, a sharp knife might permanently scratch a concrete surface. Heat can cause stains impossible to cover. You will want to change your countertop if time has resulted in countless cracks and stains.
