There are as many shapes and sizes of bathroom vanity tops as there are the vanities that they go on top of. Like all the other things in your bathroom rehab plan, it is important to take enough time to be sure you have explored all your options before making your final selection.

Assuming you have already chosen the vanity, you know the size your bathroom vanity top must be. It then comes down to the material type and color of the vanity tops. Choosing the color is usually the easier part, as the color of your bathroom vanity tops will obviously be connected to your overall color scheme. The bigger decision is just what material to use for your vanity tops.

Choices in material for your bathroom vanity tops are solid surfaces like granite and marble, or other material like ceramic, concrete, or laminate. The most durable and stylish of these are the granite and marble choices, but they are also the most expensive. Ceramic bathroom vanity tops are a bit lower priced than natural stone surfaces like granite, but are still a good choice in terms of quality. Laminate is not a good choice for a bathroom vanity top because water will slowly destroy it. The bathroom vanity top is one area of the bathroom where it pays to stick with quality material. This is also an area where your style is really shown off so choose a vanity top that will pop with your style while also being strong and functional.

There are a few other man made options in bathroom vanity tops. Concrete, Corian, and acrylic are all materials to be considered. A finished concrete bathroom vanity top can be a truly beautiful thing. The downside of concrete is it can crack over time if not prepared properly.

Corian is a man made product that has an appearance not unlike granite. The difference is the patterns are obviously man made rather than the random patterns of natural granite. It is strong and stylish, but it is also pricey. Corian can cost more per square foot than granite and for the money, most people would choose granite.

Acrylic bathroom vanity tops are a good choice because they are very durable. Even if they are damaged, acrylic is fairly easy to repair. This material is waterproof so that also makes it a good choice for the bathroom.

No matter which material you choose for your bathroom vanity tops, remember they should be easy to maintain, look great, and be durable enough to handle the workload of a bathroom while lasting for many years.
