Why So Many Choose Granite Countertops

February 6, 2016mehmet

Many people dismiss granite countertops when planning a kitchen remodel or building a new home. The idea that granite countertops are too expensive and not worth the investment is a well known deterrent for home owners. Unfortunately, dismissing the idea out of hand means that the advantages of granite countertops go unexplored and remain unknown.

Let us take a closer look at what granite counters can do for your kitchen and for your home:

Durability

Granite countertops are virtually indestructible. Unless you plan to take a sledgehammer to them, chances are they will not chip or scratch and will remain beautiful for a very, very long time. They are also heat resistant, so forget burn marks. When you choose granite for your counters, you can count on never having to install kitchen counters again.

Ease of Care

Granite countertops are so easy to maintain, clean and care for that you might forget you ever did. Water, a mild liquid dish soap and a clean, soft towel are all you will ever need to keep your granite counters shiny and spotless. Adding a sealer once every six months or so will make the cleaning process even easier.

Versatility

Granite comes in a wide variety of colors, hues and patterns. No matter what your existing décor looks like, you are sure to find just the perfect granite counters to match it. There is a granite slab out there for even the most unique tastes and needs, and no two slabs are alike, which means that whatever granite countertops are installed in your home, they are guaranteed to be one of a kind.

Beauty and Value

Granite has been used for ages, and for good reason: not only is it durable, it is beautiful. Its elegance will give any room in your home an ageless and classic look that can’t be matched. And while granite may be more expensive than low-grade laminate countertops, it will substantially increase the value of your home. Over time, your investment will be worth much more than what you initially contributed.

If you thought granite countertops were not worth the expense, you now have the information you needed to make an informed decision. If you do choose granite for your counters, you now know that it is the last time you’ll ever invest in countertops and that, if you ever choose to sell your house, your investment in granite will mean selling at a higher price, because granite will never devaluate.

What material do I choose for my kitchen countertop?

Characteristics of marble

Marble is a type of pure, hard and compact stone that offers great resistance and is very attractive from an aesthetic point of view. As it is natural stone, it requires certain special care to avoid staining over time. However, it has a better response than other materials when hot objects are placed on it. In this sense, marble for kitchens is a somewhat more expensive but very effective option.

Silestone characteristics

If you consider that pure stone gives your kitchen a too classic look, you can give it a more modern touch with Silestone. This material is made from ground stone mixed with resins that make it more moldable, so it can better adapt to more modern decorative concepts. The use of Silestone in kitchens has increased considerably due to its quality-price balance and its good response as a material in the manufacture of countertops.
