Why you Should Choose Granite Coutertops

Don't let the elegance of granite fool you: This natural stone is hard-working and durable, making it a great  choice for countertops. It is becoming an increasingly popular material for counters in both new and remodeled houses. Granite countertops is a great investment in your home, and will provide many years of enjoyment.  

There are many reasons to choose granite as your countertop surface. Among the best are: 

Natural

Crystallized under tremendous pressure deep underground, granite is a naturally formed stone composed mainly of quartz and feldspars that is mined from quarries around the world. Every granite countertop can be considered a limited edition because there is a finite supply of granite in any given quarry.

Complex

Granite is a tangled labyrinth full of Mother Nature's unique intricacies. The complex swirls and veining in our exotics series can add a great deal of character to any countertop. Solid surface and quartz materials lack the non-uniform flow of sophisticated patterns and highly detailed grain structures.

Strong

Granite is hard and highly scratch resistant. Due to its composition of quartz and feldspars (7 and 6 on the Hardness Scale, respectively), it is more durable than softer stones such as marble or travertine and man-made materials such as acrylics, polyesters or laminates. The glossy finish will endure years of use in even the busiest kitchens without being refinished.

Affordable

Granite may be more affordable than you think. Find a fabricator with a  stocked program not only keeps turnaround times shorter but allows them to charge for just the material actually used to produce your countertop. This means you won't end up spending money on material that is not part of your design.
