"Your counters are one of the key places to start when remodeling your kitchen. They cover a lot of surface area and pull a lot of focus, so they'll set the tone for the entire room and you'll want other elements of the space to coordinate with them. But they're also crucial workspaces - you need to be able to trust their durability, and you also want them to be relatively easy to clean and maintain."
"Bluestone is a layered sandstone found in northeastern Pennsylvania. It's actually been popular in the past for outdoor use because of its unrivaled staying power. It's virtually immune to stains and water damage because it's less porous, and it also doesn't retain heat. It's harder than marble and so it's also impervious to scratches, cracks, chips, and marks. Bluestone can withstand the beating of daily cooking, baking, cleaning, eating, and so on, and continue to look sleek and new."
"Bluestone comes in variegated tones of blue, gray, green, and shades of brown. While it's somewhat limiting for your kitchen design plans, it offers a good range of options for kitchen designs with neutral, earthy palettes - which only further bolsters its longevity, aesthetically speaking. When comparing bluestone to the many other kitchen countertop materials there are to consider, it does fall on the pricier end of the scale."
Bluestone is a layered sandstone native to northeastern Pennsylvania that offers exceptional durability for kitchen countertops. The stone is less porous than many alternatives, making it highly resistant to stains and water damage, and it does not retain heat. Bluestone is harder than marble and resists scratches, cracks, chips, and marks, allowing it to withstand daily cooking, baking, cleaning, and dining while maintaining a sleek appearance. Color variations include blue, gray, green, and browns that suit neutral, earthy palettes. Bluestone is rarer and somewhat pricier than common countertop materials and often requires additional cutting and shaping for installation.
