We are planning to replace our kitchen countertops and are considering putting ceramic tile on them. Any suggestions you can offer I would appreciate. Please advise as to the type of finish is required.

I would avoid tiled countertops due to the grout. Even after they are sealed, it is very difficult to keep them looking clean. In addition to the dirt, I would be VERY concerned about bacteria.

I put tiles on a counter top in one house I lived in...15 or so years ago. I would not recommend it...high maintenance and even with sealer, hard to keep looking clean...I would suggest some artificial slate in lieu of tile. Anything with a smooth, flat surface.

Taking tile off of counters is an costly, messy technique, so that's fairly useful to get the ok first. sturdy luck w/your project.

Sealer to protect your grout should be done every 2 years.
