Many homeowners are becoming enamored with epoxy countertops. Are epoxy countertops a good way to go? Below we’ll list some of the benefits of epoxy resin countertops. Read on to learn whether epoxy is right for your kitchen.

Benefits of Epoxy Resin Countertops

1. Epoxy Resin is durable

Epoxy is made by mixing two chemicals which, when they react to each other, create a material that is stronger than the ingredients individually. The resulting surface is very, very hard, and resistant to chipping. 

2. Epoxy countertops are easy to clean

Epoxy creates a smooth, highly polished countertop which can be cleaned easily. Epoxy is inherently waterproof and oil proof. So, when it comes time to wipe the countertop, you won’t have to worry about the surface holding residual deposits of scum.

3. Epoxy makes a very shiny surface

Epoxy countertops present a visually-appealing, high gloss service, that emulates more expensive materials like marble.

4. Epoxy has many styling options

Epoxy comes in many colors. You can apply an epoxy coating as a clear finish to an already pretty material, or you can choose from colored or textured epoxy to sculpt a completely customizable look that matches your home.  

Beauty of Epoxy Countertops

Epoxy countertops are truly beautiful and unique in every way. Each countertop can be created to your exact preference. Few materials are as design versatile as epoxy resin. It can be swirled and used to imitate marble (it will also be stronger and less expensive). Or it can be used as an incredibly tough clear coat for something like a high-quality hardwood countertop.
