Why Homeowners Want Granite Counters
A
countertop
is an essential kitchen element; it provides a functional surface for
food preparation, while at the same time enhances the look of your
kitchen. When it comes to the material your kitchen countertop is
made of, you have to look for one that has the toughness, resilience,
and smoothness needed for your kitchen activities — granite.
Here
are some reasons why granite countertops are such a huge hit among
many homeowners and kitchen lovers:
Durability
Granite
is a type of igneous rock formed from cooled magma that have been
deposited underground. The granite countertop you have at home is a
slab of rock cut from a quarry. Because it isn't synthetically
produced or process, its natural strength is preserved. No wonder
more granite counters remain intact for many decades.
Impermeable
A
well-prepared granite counter is impermeable. However, this is only
100 percent achieved if the surface is properly sealed with a special
type of sealant. Such a task is best performed by a professional
during installation. It would always be better to hire a professional
to install your granite countertop than doing it by yourself if you
really want it to last.
Beauty
While
strength and beauty do not come together in many products, granite
countertops have both of these qualities. The different patterns and
colors of granite create an elegant look that match all kinds of
kitchen. You can see your granite countertop outshining all other
elements in your kitchen as soon as it's installed and sealed.
