Tile countertops look great and are a fraction of the cost of a slab counter top made from granite, marble or other natural stone.
And you thought tile was only for flooring; quite the contrary. Tiling you kitchen counter top can give you just the look you want, while saving a huge chunk of change. In instances where you choose granite tile, which has a perfectly straight edge on all four sides, grout lines are virtually invisible. In other applications like ceramic, or porcelain tile, a fine grout line will be evident. One nice advantage of a tile countertop is that it allows you be creative, by mismatching tiles, using different colors of the same tile family and even create a one of a kind mosaic if you're the artistic type that has a bunch of patience.

In any case a tile countertop whether for your kitchen or bathroom, if done right, with proper, tile backer, mortar, grout, and tile sealer will look great for many years.
