Being attractive, durable and simple to maintain has made granite become one of the most popular choices for both kitchen and bathroom countertops, and it is also simple to install in an old kitchen while adding extra value to a home.
Granite is a sturdy and natural stone that has greater durability than marble and is available in a wide array of different colors as well as many different options for edge treatments. It also offers greater uniformity in patterns than is the case with marble and is also a good deal sturdier.
That durability has made granite a natural choice for kitchen countertops. The wide color range also makes granite very appealing to many homeowners and has it more sought-after than is the case for any other type of countertop. Particular popular in kitchen and bathrooms are the color selections of absolute black and black pearl on walls and floors in addition to countertops.
Granite is often perceived as being very expensive, but the reality is that granite is actually relatively cheap in comparison to other alternatives such as marble. Marble prices have actually only been increasing still further over the course of the last few years, which has another reason why granite has become more and more popular with consumers, though blue granite is the costliest choice within this bracket.
Granite countertops will be cut to fit the installed cabinets and a professional should then carry out the installation in order to make sure it is level.
