The quest for a high curb appeal is one most of us are all too familiar with. It’s not even necessarily that you plan to sell your house. You just want the assurance that if you ever do, your property will generate a profit.
Knowing that your home is worth more than what you bought it for can put your mind at ease that you’d have money for retirement, a child’s college fund, purchasing a new house, and other big (and expensive) life milestones.
Keeping that in mind, you’ve gotten the itch to remodel and modernize your kitchen. You’ve explored your countertop options and want the one which will bring the most property value.
You must be talking about glass, then. Get ready to learn how it’s such a supplement to your goals of a higher curb appeal.
Glass Counters Are Timeless
Nothing dates your kitchen more than décor and fixtures that were trendy years ago. Formica is a great example of a countertop material that seemed like it would last forever for a while, and now people are eager to get out of their homes in droves.
You won’t have nearly as much drive to remove your glass counters. The material is timeless yet trendy. It’s reliably in style, so whether a year or 10 have passed, your counter won’t fall into the same unfortunate category as Formica, an old, unwanted relic.
It Takes a Lot to Damage Glass Counters
Part of keeping your home value high is maintaining your fixtures, furniture, appliances, and décor. If they show too many signs of wear, they won’t be appealing to the next prospective buyer.
It’s not like you’ll want to try, but glass is a material that can take a licking and keep on ticking. If you lightly scratch it, it buffs out. It doesn’t stain, so you don’t have to worry about discoloration. It can also handle temperatures of over 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
Of course, glass is not entirely damage-proof. If you chip or fracture it, it can be hard to repair due to the small, fragmented pieces. If large chunks come off, you’ll have to replace the entire counter.
Glass Counters Will Keep Inhabitants Healthier
What germs lurk in your kitchen? It’s a question we all shudder to answer, but if you have a stone, metal, or granite countertop, you should shudder even more.
These porous materials have crevices that allow germs and bacteria to linger. You’d have to clean your counters daily, and even then, get deep into the nooks and crannies to keep the area germ-free.
Glass counters don’t require nearly as much scouring. They’re nonporous, meaning germs can’t get into the crevices, as it doesn’t have any. You and your family can rest assured that eating at a glass kitchen counter is healthier than one made of another material.
If you ever sell your home, the next homeowners would also appreciate that assurance.
Glass Is Easy to Maintain
Struggling to clean after every meal? Not you! Glass counters are incredibly low-maintenance, making your day-to-day life easy.
Since glass is stain-free, you can go a little longer without cleaning it, maybe once or twice a week depending on usage. When the time comes, you can tidy up your counter with dish soap and a clean, soft cloth. That’s all you need! No harsh cleaners or chemicals.
Who doesn’t want to save time? This is another excellent way that a glass counter drives up your property value, as it makes your kitchen more appealing.
