Lowes.com How-To Tip: Bathroom Surfaces and Countertops

Surfaces and countertops are important components in bath design. They must be durable and water-resistant. Because this aspect can become quite expensive, be sure to consider all of your options and choose for permanency. Paint can always be re-done, but tile may not be so easy or economical to change.

Surface selections include wood, laminate, stone, ceramic tile and solid surfacing.

Although solid surfacing and natural stone are expensive, if used in small quantities they can be affordable. Solid-surface veneer is a less-expensive alternative to solid surfacing and can be sanded smooth if scratched.
Laminate is an inexpensive choice for countertops, and it holds up well in the wet conditions of the bath.
Because stone flooring becomes slippery when wet, use a rough-finished stone to keep this from becoming a problem.
Ceramic tile can be used either for the countertops or for the walls and floors. Tile can also become slippery in the bathroom, so use a slip-resistant rug. This will help prevent accidents and provide a soft cushion for your feet.
