Love Is In The Air (And On Your Kitchen Countertop)!<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Valentine\u2019s Day<\/b> is just around the corner! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tired of spending x amount of hours looking for the perfect setting for your <\/span>romantic <\/b>dinner date? Or perhaps you\u2019ve already splurged your <\/span>Valentine\u2019s budget <\/b>on that brand new gadget?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Not to worry! Having a home-cooked <\/span>Valentine\u2019s Day <\/b>dinner is a completely viable<\/strong> option if you\u2019re not keen on <\/span>overspending <\/b>on a commercialized holiday. Spending your <\/span>Valentine\u2019s <\/b>at home is private and cheap. And you skip the <\/span>hassle <\/b>of going out and getting stuck amongst the myriad of couples looking to create a magical night for themselves. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Also, your significant other will definitely appreciate the <\/span>effort <\/b>and <\/span>hard work<\/b>. Who knows? You might even get some <\/span>reciprocation <\/b>from him\/her later on. <\/span>*wink wink nudge nudge*<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you can’t keep it in the <\/span>bedroom<\/b>, here are <\/span>five countertops <\/b>you definitely want to be on (top of) this <\/span>Valentine\u2019s Day<\/b>. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Quartz Countertop<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Luxurious<\/b>, <\/span>high-end<\/b>, and <\/span>alluring<\/b>. <\/span>Quartz countertops <\/b>are the definition of <\/span>premium quality<\/b>. Along with it, comes <\/span>\u201cpremium\u201d aesthetics<\/b>. Think natural lustre and an almost perfectly smooth surface, cold to the touch.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Imagine the slight chill of <\/span>quartz countertop <\/b>on your bare skin and your partner\u2019s warm breath on yours. Sounds pleasant, doesn\u2019t it? <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Quartz <\/b>is a <\/span>natural <\/b>material and thus provides a unique look for each slab pulled from the <\/span>Earth<\/b>. So if you appreciate and are turned on by <\/span>visual aesthetics<\/b>, <\/span>quartz countertops <\/b>are definitely for you. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We\u2019d recommend <\/span>Silestone Quartz<\/b><\/a>\u00a0and<\/span> <\/span>Caesarstone Quartz<\/b><\/a>\u00a0for their quality and beauty. While <\/span>ColourQuartz<\/a> <\/b>is renowned for its stylish and trendy lineup. And <\/span>HanStone Quartz<\/b><\/a>\u00a0is unique with its special blend of materials.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Granite Countertop<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Similarly, <\/span>granite<\/a> <\/b>is also a popular material for <\/span>countertops <\/b>among kitchen owners. It\u2019s regarded as one of the hardest known minerals, which makes it one of the first choice of natural rock when it comes to <\/span>durability <\/b>and <\/span>aesthetics<\/b>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Also, it\u2019s <\/span>high durability <\/b>makes it one of the better choices for your <\/span>Valentine\u2019s Day <\/b>shenanigans. If you know what we mean.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Similar to <\/span>quartz<\/b><\/a>, <\/span>granite <\/b>offers a <\/span>unique <\/b>and <\/span>distinctive <\/b>look that will wet (no double entendre intended) your appetite. Each slab of this material has its own unique <\/span>veins<\/b>, <\/span>textures<\/b>, and <\/span>colours<\/b>. Rest assured that when we say one-of-a-kind, we meant it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Aside from that, <\/span>granite <\/b>is also <\/span>scratch <\/b>and <\/span>stain proof<\/b>. The material has a protective layer which provides <\/span>high resistance <\/b>against stains. So you and your partner can go wild this <\/span>Valentine\u2019s<\/b>. And we promise we won\u2019t judge!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That being said, we\u2019d still suggest <\/span>sealing <\/b>it regularly for the added <\/span>protection<\/b>. You\u2019ll be able to <\/span>clean <\/b>up the \u201c<\/span>messes\u201d <\/b>(again, no judgement here) made during <\/span>Valentine\u2019s <\/b>easily with the sealant.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We offer an excellent lineup of <\/span>granite-based<\/a> countertops<\/a> <\/b>such as <\/span>Sensa Granite<\/b><\/a>\u00a0for your kitchen needs. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Marble Countertop<\/b><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On the other hand, <\/span>marble <\/b>comes across as quite <\/span>\u201cfragile\u201d<\/b> compared to other <\/span>countertop <\/b><\/span>materials. When it comes down to it, there\u2019s one important thing you should know –<\/span> <\/span>marble<\/a> <\/b>is a <\/span>porous<\/b>, <\/span>high-maintenance <\/b>surface.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"valentine's

 <\/p>\n

The gist of it is, <\/span>marble <\/b>is vulnerable to staining agents (like wine, juice, oil, and ahem, bodily fluids) that seep into the surface. Therefore, <\/span>sealing <\/b>the <\/span>surface <\/b>upon installation is definitely a must to help prevent damage.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Other than that, you should be prepared to see some <\/span>scratches<\/b>. If you\u2019re going wild on your <\/span>countertop <\/b>this <\/span>Valentine\u2019s<\/b>, we\u2019d recommend being extra careful. Remove any article of clothing (as you would before doing the deed) that may <\/span>scratch <\/b>your <\/span>countertop<\/b>. This would include belt buckles and necklaces.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But if you\u2019re able to put up with the extra work, a <\/span>marble countertop <\/b>is an excellent addition to any <\/span>kitchen<\/b>. Plus, it\u2019s more <\/span>affordable <\/b>than other <\/span>countertop materials<\/b>!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Solid Surfaces<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Speaking of<\/span> <\/span>affordable<\/b><\/a>, <\/span>solid surface countertops <\/b>are the perfect mid-range material.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Interested in the <\/span>quartz <\/b>or <\/span>granite <\/b>look but can\u2019t afford it? Kitchen owners with <\/span>tight budgets <\/b>tend to gravitate towards this material. It\u2019s often hailed as one of the best alternatives if you want the <\/span>\u201clook\u201d<\/b> that <\/span>stone material <\/b>brings.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"solid

 <\/p>\n

Though, we must warn you that <\/span>solid surfaces <\/b>are only meant to resemble real stone. Thus, it lacks the <\/span>depth <\/b>that real stone provides.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Alternatively, the one thing that may put solid surfaces ahead of the competition is its <\/span>composition<\/b>. <\/span>Solid surfaces <\/b>are comprised of less natural minerals as compared to other countertops. This means that solid surface countertops are also less susceptible to <\/span>losing heat <\/b>and become <\/span>unbearably cold<\/b>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ever had your <\/span>sensitive parts <\/b>in contact with a <\/span>cold surface<\/b>? Let\u2019s face it, a <\/span>\u201cyelp\u201d<\/b> isn\u2019t what you\u2019d want to hear when you\u2019re just getting into it this <\/span>Valentine\u2019s Day<\/b>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you\u2019re into the<\/span> premium<\/strong><\/a> goods, we\u2019d suggest looking into <\/span><\/span>DuPont\u2122 Corian<\/b>\u00ae<\/b><\/a>, <\/span>LG\u2019s<\/b> HI-MACS<\/b>\u00ae<\/b><\/a>, and<\/span> \u00a0<\/span>Lotte Staron<\/b>\u00ae<\/b><\/a>. Otherwise, <\/span>Hanex<\/b>\u00ae<\/b> solid surfaces<\/b><\/a> and<\/span> <\/span>3S solid surfaces<\/b><\/a> are great places to start.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. Wood Countertop<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Natural wood vs faux wood<\/b><\/a>. Whatever your choice is, you can\u2019t go wrong with <\/span>wood countertops<\/b>. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Wood <\/b>as a countertop material is really underrated in our books. They\u2019re <\/span>cheap <\/b>and easy to maintain. They\u2019re also <\/span>sanitary <\/b>and <\/span>durable<\/b>. Moreover, <\/span>wood countertops <\/b>are also <\/span>heat resistant <\/b>and easy to care for. And you can even cut on them!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

No more worries about <\/span>scratching <\/b>up your wooden surface doing your <\/span>Valentine\u2019s <\/b>affairs. <\/span>Wood countertops <\/b>are easy to repair and refinish!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Akin to <\/span>nature<\/b>, there\u2019s something that evokes a sense of <\/span>calm <\/b>and <\/span>serenity <\/b>when you\u2019re in contact with <\/span>wood<\/b>. Add to that your partner\u2019s warmth and you\u2019ve got a fabulous <\/span>Valentine\u2019s Day <\/b>indeed!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
