Kitchen Counter tops
We are replacing our counter tops and would like to know your opinions on material; i.e., granite, quartz, soapstone, etc. The last information posted here was from four years ago so I'm guessing there may be new options? Thank you!

If price is of more concern, laminate would be my second choice. Economic, waterproof, pretty, relatively maintenance free.
I heard that concrete poured <1.5" can have much more risk of break apart and chipping, so it can be a concern. It also has more porous surface, so your stainproofness depends on the sealing. If anyone can chime in on the technicality on these 2 things, it'd be great.

Completely agree with ChefJune that your choice depends quite a lot on what your priorities and budget are, how much TLC you want to be giving it, and which looks you like the best.
I'll likely be doing 2 kitchen remodels in the next few years (in 2 homes I'll soon be buying, not yet found / closed, because I'm taking my time to get exactly what I want) so I'm actively researching everything kitchen these days.
Can anyone direct me to some appealing examples of poured concrete counter surfaces? (I'll be putting tiles on the floors.)
And do you know anything about the coatings some builders recommend for poured concrete? Thanks! ;o)
