Vanity top materials: quartz, marble, granite or cultured marble
A vanity top takes toothpaste, makeup, hair products and hot tools every day. The material decides how much care it needs and how it looks in ten years.
Quartz
The most popular choice: non-porous, no sealing, stain resistant, and available in marble looks. Keep hot curling irons on a mat.
Marble
Classic and luxurious. It etches from acidic products and needs sealing, but many people love how it ages. Honed marble hides etching better than polished.
Granite and quartzite
Very durable and heat tolerant, each slab unique. Seal granite every one to three years; quartzite is harder still. See quartz vs quartzite.
Cultured marble and solid surface
Often molded with the sink built in, so there are no seams to clean. Budget friendly and repairable, though softer and easier to scratch than stone.
Custom tops
A custom top lets you fit an odd size, pick any slab from our yard and choose the sink and faucet holes. See custom vanity tops and our vanity size guide.
