A copper faucet kitchen counter cover is one way to protect the countertop from scratches. Tile is a great choice because it will withstand staining and heat. It also looks great and won't show off the ugly pipework below. Choosing a tile over the counter top will add beauty and class to your kitchen. Just make sure your counter is stable and flat before installing the tile. It's important to make sure the old counters are flat and sturdy enough to prevent new tiles from cracking. You can also use a 1/4-inch cement board to support the tile.
