Best Countertop Options
Leathered Black Granite
A textured, matte black granite such as leathered Black Pearl or Impala Black hides water spots, detergent marks and fingerprints. It is very durable and handles hot irons with a mat.
Granite
Local granites such as Tropical Brown, Impala Black or Indus Gold are economical, water-resistant and heat-resistant — perfect for utility areas. Remnants can be ideal for small laundry counters.
Quartz
Non-porous and easy to clean, quartz resists detergent and bleach drips (wipe promptly). White or grey quartz brightens small laundry rooms.
Porcelain
Waterproof and heat-resistant, porcelain works well for counters and walls.
Avoid Marble
Detergents, bleach and stain removers can etch and stain marble.
Design Ideas
- Counter over machines: a continuous slab above front-loaders.
- Utility sink: a deep sink for hand-washing and soaking, set into granite.
- Backsplash: stone or tiles to protect walls from water.
- Open shelving for baskets.
- Hanging rail for drying clothes.
Practical Tips
- Leave a gap above machines for vibration.
- Support the counter on side panels or brackets.
- Use rounded edges in narrow rooms.
- Ensure good ventilation.
