It does not matter whether you are building a new home, remodeling an entire kitchen or bathroom or simply want to replace your countertops, you can count on granite to provide that distinctive look only nature can provide. Granite is proven to not only give you years of durable use, but to add to the value of your home.
The benefits of granite include:
- Beauty – Granite can provide that beautiful and luxurious finishing touch that can make a room warm and inviting.
- Uniqueness – every kitchen granite countertop or bathroom granite countertop is like no other because just like fingerprints no two slabs of granite are exactly the same.
- Selection – there is a wide variety of naturally occurring colors (browns, greens, res, blues, black) and textures that can be chosen to match any tone or style of wood, cabinets or other kitchen/bath features.
- Durable – an important feature for kitchens and baths which get heavy use, granite countertops have been one of the longest lasting materials for countertops. The polished finish on a granite surface simply can not be worn off. Granite can take very hot item like pots and pans – it is a natural heat displacer. The cool natural polished surface is ideal for many kitchen jobs such as rolling pastry dough or other baking steps. Granite can also resist stains, to keep looking great virtually forever if it is sealed properly.
- Cost effective – Not only do granite countertops look great and perform well they can be the most cost effective choice for many reasons. Although they can be more expensive than other countertop choices such as laminate, tile, marble, soapstone, limestone, quartz, Corian (an engineered solid surface stone material) you will generally not need to replace a granite countertop unlike some of the other choices. Even with other natural stone products such as marble countertops you will find that they can scratch or mar easier and are susceptible to etching when certain liquids spilled on them – and try as you might these liquids will almost certainly hit your countertop at some point. So even some of the more expensive alternatives to granite may need replacement sooner.
- Cleanliness – Granite does not harbor bacteria or viruses and therefore naturally aids you in your annual cold fighting season as well as general cleanliness including food-borne diseases.
- Added Value – Not only is granite more cost effective over the long run, but homes with granite countertops generally increase the sales value of homes. It is a more sought after designer look that remains popular over long periods of time and has never gone out of style. Some home experts suggest that the investment you make in granite countertops will pay you back at least three times the original cost when it comes time to sell your home. Therefore, while there is an upfront investment, granite countertops generally make you money as opposed to being a sunk, unrecoverable cost as are many other countertop choices. It doesn't matter when you making your choice – whether its when you are first building your home, or doing a renovation or remodel, or even just replacing countertops only – granite kitchen countertops and granite bathroom countertops will be sure to add value to your home.
