Show all Countertops Manufacturers  Countertops are horizontal
work surfaces that are used in workrooms, kitchens, and other
food preparation areas. They are often installed above and
supported by cabinets. Countertops are made from a variety of
materials and may resist the growth of mold, mildew, and
bacteria. Stain resistance, maintenance, color, and cost are

processing facilities, easy-to-clean surfaces such as granite
and stainless steel are often used. These sanitary countertops
are free from pores that can harbor germs and promote the growth

Choices include ceramic tile, concrete, engineering stone,
granite, laminate, and marble. Ceramic tile countertops can
