Do you think you know all your kitchen countertop options? I’d be willing bet you may not!
Since we are on a kitchen theme recently at EricMcKenna.com, how about some different options for kitchen countertop materials?
Lee Wallender at About.com presents this great article outlining 20 different materials that can be cut and used for kitchen countertops. 
Of course there are the most thought of materials including granite, slate, quartz, tile and laminate, but Lee outlines other options including concrete, stainless steel, soapstone, recycled glass, paper composite, recycled aluminum, reclaimed wood, zinc and even bamboo.
Lee provides photos of each example as well as some of the ‘pros’ and ‘cons’ associated with each. While not every material is practical for every kind of use or family lifestyle, there certainly are some beautiful finishes available by simply thinking outside of the box. And if one’s goal is to add a unique touch to a kitchen project, a different countertop material may be just the thing.
