Granite countertops for kitchens are a popular choice among homeowners nowadays. Durable, beautiful and competitively-priced, these countertops make every kitchen look like no expense was spared in their construction.
What makes granite such a great choice for that countertop? The explanation comes from the fact that granite is a special kind of rock. That is also why it is so durable that it takes only two things to break or cut it - another piece of granite or diamonds! Often massive in size, granite's hardness or toughness has made it a widely-used material in constructing high-rise buildings. Imagine using the same material for your own kitchen!
Granite countertops are a practical choice for everyone. Not only is it durable, but it is also lasting. Since granite is made of several kinds of minerals, it is heat-resistant. It can withstand hot pots and pans you put on top of it and it won't even be damaged. It won't even get chipped or cracked unless you drop a massive slab of concrete on top of it. It will even look as good as when it was first installed despite the years of use. It is also highly-scratch resistant and can endure daily wear and tear without showing change.
Since granite can be classified as impervious to water, it is less absorbent than some plastic surface products. Even if that glass of milk or even any other kind of liquid is spilled on the surface, it will be easily wiped off. There won't even be any stains left unless you leave it. When water is soaked by the granite, it will evaporate, often in just a few minutes.
Cleaning is not a problem with this type of countertop. All you have to do is to routinely clean it with mild soap and water. You can also apply a penetrating sealant to make your countertop even more stain resistant. It requires only fifteen minutes of your time each year.
Granite countertops are impressive-looking because each slab of granite is uniquely beautiful. It has textures that range from medium to coarse and can have a pink to gray or even black color. There are many styles and colors to choose from so it won't really be difficult to find that perfect one for your kitchen countertop. To avoid being overwhelmed with the variety of choices, you can consult an interior designer or go to your local granite countertop dealer for ideas on what would best suit you and your kitchen.
Granite countertops even have a variety of looks. Based on the finishes, you can choose one with a matte finish or with a textured one. They even come in colors like pink and green!
Many people would hesitate in having granite countertops installed in their kitchens because they think these are quite expensive. The truth is that these are priced competitively. Actually, when you will compare the price of granite countertops to the price of other high-end surfaces, you would be surprised. Nothing would match the practicality and lasting beauty of a granite countertop.
