The same with the counters… wood, stainless steel, laminate or solid surface like DuPont’s Corian brand would be more appropriate than hard materials like ceramic tiles or stone. Let me know if you have any other questions. Regards, Ganka Hi Susan,

We often find little cracks around doorways or joints after a tremor and I have had many ceramic floor tiles crack without incident. These same tiles have been replaced, are not on a plywood joint, and have cracked again. I am planning to remodel my kitchen and am reluctant to use tile again, or stone/ recycled glass countertops as I am afraid a tremor may cause cracking of either or both. What would you recommend to use that would provide some "give" during a tremor? I live in an area of Ottawa Ontario, on a small fault line and we experience minor earth tremors from time to time.

I found RINATO at IKEA in Chicago. It is a bit more expensive than traditional stone countertops, but so much nicer and green!
