Kitchen and Bathroom Countertop Installation
by Kevin Smith AuthorWhen considering kitchen or bathroom countertop installation in Kennesaw, GA, there are several common and popular material options. The most popular and common countertop material options include granite, marble, and quartz; each of these materials has numerous benefits to installation.
Granite
Granite countertops have several advantages including heat resistance, scratch resistance, chemical resistance, and low maintenance upkeep. Not only is granite a sustainable resource, it is available in every color imaginable. Furthermore, granite is quite impervious, boasting heat, scratch, and chemical resistance: granite countertops will never melt or blister under heat exposure or contact; very few minerals are able to scratch or mar a granite countertop surface; acids and bases will not harm granite countertops in any way. As far as staining goes, granite can be susceptible to staining but these stains are easily removed from the stone surface. Granite countertops are also low maintenance and last more than ten years before needing to be repaired or resurfaced. A granite countertop can also pair with many types of sinks, including undermount sinks. Installing granite countertops in your bathroom or kitchen will also add overall value to your home and help the resale value significantly.
Marble
Although marble is a softer natural stone, it still has many functional and aesthetic advantages as a countertop material. And marble is still vastly more durable than any non-stone countertop option; this means less scratching and cracking will occur with a marble countertop compared with a non-stone material option. Marble is also a sustainable resource and can increase property values if well maintained. Kitchen and bathroom countertops made of marble are also heat resistant and naturally cool, which makes this material well suited to baking. Marble’s longevity is also very robust, and when properly sealed and maintained a marble countertop can last a lifetime. Not only does marble have an unrivaled beauty, it is also more easily designed and customized because of its softer nature.
