Stone bathroom countertop

The bathroom has always been an intimate place, where you can not only put yourself in order and bathe but also relax by typing a hot bath and plunging into the cozy atmosphere. Recently, modern houses and apartments are being built so that the bathroom is spacious and comfortable, where there will be a place for a bath, a jacuzzi, a shower, a sink, and even a washing machine and a dressing table. The main thing is not to save space, but to maximize convenience. Undoubtedly, a large space provides opportunities for the implementation of the most interesting and varied solutions. Therefore, more and more often countertops appear in the interior of the bathroom. The most practical and attractive are stone countertops.



The bathroom countertop serves a decorative and practical function. She focuses on herself and limits the space of the wash area. Accessories are placed on the tabletop: a dispenser with soap, toothbrushes and toothpaste, creams, and other care products, and there is no need to load the space with additional shelves.

The controversial issue of which material is better to choose a countertop in the bathroom. First of all, it is a matter of taste and possibilities. For bathroom stone countertops, stones such as natural granite, marble, onyx, travertine, and artificial quartz agglomerate are suitable. Acrylic stone can also be used, but there are risks. It's all about the plywood or MDF backing, which over time can swell from moisture and break the glued seams on the product. Other stones do not have similar problems, since there is no substrate as such.



Marble bathroom countertops. Marble is used in interior design more often due to interesting patterns, colors, and textures. Therefore, for the bathroom, it is a more attractive material compared to others. For example, a kitchen countertop is not recommended to be made of marble, since marble is not a wear-resistant material and is not resistant to colored dye products, as well as acetic acid. For the bathroom, a marble countertop is the ideal combination of sophistication and practicality. Onyx also has these criteria, although onyx is loved to be faced with fireplaces, it often appears in the bathroom. One of the disadvantages of onyx is the price, but the beauty of onyx is superior to any of the stones. Also, the onyx countertop can be equipped with lighting. The Natural Stone countertop looks amazing.


Granite countertops are less commonly used in the bathroom, but only because of the decorative properties of granite. It is more brutal and not so elegant, besides, there are practically no white granites in nature. Basically, granite has a granular texture, without mesmerizing veins. Although there are some granites that excite the imagination, such as Black Mosaic or Iron Red. In terms of its strength characteristics, a granite countertop is significantly superior to a marble countertop and is close to a quartz agglomerate countertop. A granite countertop will perfectly complement a loft-style bathroom.



Quartz agglomerate bathroom countertops. Artificial agglomerate stone is produced in various colors and perfectly imitates natural marbles and granites. It fits harmoniously into any interior, from the most modern to the classic. For example, if you are dreaming of a white marble countertop in your bathroom and are not ready to take care of your marble, quartz agglomerate imitating white marble is what you need. It will be difficult for an average person to distinguish agglomerate from marble and suspect unnaturalness in it. Quartz agglomerates with a beautiful imitation of natural stone are presented in the Technistone and Smartquartz collections. Quartz countertops do not absorb moisture and are not scratched. Agglomerate is ideal for the bathroom, both in terms of practicality and hygiene.


To summarize, we can say that the most popular and optimal options for making bathroom countertops are marble and quartz agglomerate. Both materials "feel" great in humid rooms and have high decorative properties. Worktops can be made in various shapes. Sinks for stone countertops can be different: bowls, overhead, or built-in under the countertop. Any of the materials allows you to mount a sink of any configuration. The visible curly edge (butt) of the stone countertop in the bathroom is also chosen to your taste, it can be a straight butt and a complex curly one with glue, which will visually make the countertop thicker and nobler. Also popular are bathroom countertops with "skirts", under which the base of the sink and plumbing leads are hidden.
