Tiles are another popular choice for kitchen countertops, and they are easy to install, although there is one major disadvantage to tiled countertops, and that is that they are fragile and difficult to maintain and clean. This is due to the fact that mildew and mold can start to grow in between the tiles, and this needs to be cleaned using a special cleaning solution.

If you like 'industrial', but aren't sold on concrete, stainless steel may be an option for you for kitchen countertops.
