There are many types of benchtops for you to choose from when you're renovating your home, but you may want to spend some extra time checking out stone benchtops. After all, you can choose from granite, marble and other types of stone. No matter which type of stone benchtops you choose for your home, you might want to install them in several places. These are some examples of areas of the home where stone benchtops can be a welcome addition.

Kitchen

When you think about buying new benchtops for your home, the first room that you might think about is your kitchen. Your kitchen might be a hub for entertaining, so you probably want it to look nice. You might spend a lot of time cooking and baking in your kitchen, and you probably want a nice benchtop that you can use as a work surface.

Luckily, stone benchtops are ideal for use in the kitchen. Many types of stone benchtops — such as quartz or granite — will not be damaged if you cut up vegetables and other ingredients directly on the benchtop, so a cutting board isn't even needed. Many types of stone are also tolerant to heat, so you don't have to worry about damaging them if you place a hot pan directly on the benchtop.

Laundry Room

Many people don't even think about installing benchtops in the laundry room. However, if you have space for this, it might be a good idea to set up at least a small stone benchtop. Since many types can tolerate heat, you won't have to worry about your iron damaging the benchtop. Plus, you'll probably like having a sturdy and attractive place for folding clothes, treating stains and more.

Bathrooms

Lastly, you should consider installing benchtops in your bathrooms. Your master bathroom should be a luxurious place for you to get ready in the morning or to begin unwinding after a long day. Your guest bathrooms should be aesthetically pleasing and welcoming for your guests. In either of these types of bathrooms, stone benchtops have their place. After all, many people consider them to be aesthetically pleasing, and you can choose stone benchtops in whatever color necessary so that they will match your bathrooms. You'll probably like that many types of stone benchtops can tolerate heat, so you won't have to worry about your benchtops being damaged if you set up a hot curling iron or other hair styling tool. Stone benchtops are also easy to clean and sanitise, which is obviously important in the bathroom.
