Whether you’re building a new home or renovating your current place, one of the many aspects you’ll have to consider is what material to use for your countertops. Below are a few benefits to counters made from acrylic materials versus stone.

Why You Should Install Acrylic Counters

1. Easily Custom-Made

Other countertop surface materials, such as stone, can be difficult to customize to various sizes. Whether you want to put a small counter in a bathroom or a large, uniquely shaped bar in your kitchen, acrylic countertops can easily be cut and customized to your specifications. They also have nearly invisible seams and come in a variety of colors and patterns. 

2. No Base Material Needed

Some counter materials require a base structure or support. Acrylic countertops come with built-in support, eliminating an extra step in the installation process. Counters that require base support also often use harmful chemicals like formaldehyde glues, which acrylic counters don’t need. 

3. Easy to Clean & Repair 

Because acrylic counters have minimal seams and no cracks or crevices, they offer a smooth surface that’s easy to wipe down and keep clean. They are also durable against strong cleaning solutions, so you don’t have to worry about damaging or scratching them. If it does get any scratches, they can be buffed or sanded out to like-new condition. Chips, holes, or burn marks can often be removed as well. Since acrylic isn’t porous, the surface won’t absorb liquids and is stain-resistant.
