Pros:<\/strong> They are heat and stain resistant and are available in massive varieties<\/p>\n

Cons:<\/strong> They are easily scratched, and show watermarks.<\/p>\n

\n

Choose one with a brushed or satin finish where the water marks and scratches will be less noticeable. Added bonus? Find one with a sound-absorbing pad at the bottom.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Cost:<\/strong> $100 to $800 is typical, but prices can go higher depending on gauge, size and mounting type.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

        \n
        \n\t

        Pros:\u00a0<\/strong>They are highly resistant to scratches, staining and chipping with a easy cleanup.<\/p>\n

        Cons:<\/strong>\u00a0They come in limited sizes and colours, not friendly to dropped dishes, can stain if not properly cared for, fairly heavy.<\/p>\n

        \n

        Fireclay is entirely natural, and amazingly practical. A dirt-repellent finishing polish is applied which means that any mess, tea or red wine stains can be wiped with a little soapy water.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
