Looking to give your kitchen a new style and feel? You might want to start with the countertops because they’re one of the things that most people notice when they visit a home. If you’re having a hard time finding a suitable material for your countertops, remember that you can’t go wrong with granite slabs.
Granite is an igneous rock and is one of the most widely-used construction materials in the world. It’s an excellent choice for kitchen countertops because it can withstand the significant heat and action that kitchens are normally subjected to. Granite is also easy to clean because it does not have pores where dirt, grime, and spilt liquids can lodge into. Finally, it is very beautiful to look at and hardly depreciates over time, making it a worthwhile and solid investment as far as home improvements go.
However, granite is also not perfect. Despite, or perhaps because of, its traits, granite is fairly heavy and can cause weaker kitchen counters and tables to buckle under the weight. Granite may also get damaged and leave permanent marks when scratched with a sharp object. To avoid these, make sure to consult with experienced contractors, and entrust the installation only with these pros.
