Kitchen Countertops

    I am considering changing the countertops in my kitchen and have been looking at the granite and marble options, but to be honest I think that the prices to do the kitchen will be just too much.

    I was wondering if anyone knew of any similar, cheaper alternatives? Engineered Stone perhaps? If you know of anything please feel free to share :)

    Thanks

    I'm in a similar boat, after looking though there isn't that much of an alternative to granite/marble. I did see a thick laminate with some kind of stone resin on it, the kitchen guy wasn't that happy about it though, and its about 1/2 the cost of granite anyway. It seems to me that best thing is to either go with a laminate or the granite if your set on it.

    Concrete countertops might be worth checking out and researching... Also, wooden countertops - maybe coloured/stained as per your preference?
