5 Advantages of Switching to Granite Countertops
by Kevin Smith AuthorIf you're considering renovating your home
or kitchen, you need to think about installing granite countertops. There's no
better way to immediately upgrade your home and give it that "wow"
factor. If you have any doubts, here are a few good reasons to look
into granite kitchen countertops in Marietta.
1. Granite Is Tough
How tough? Have you been to Yosemite? If
granite can withstand thousands of years of enormous glaciers, it can certainly
withstand regular kitchen damage. Simple to clean, if you just seal the granite
periodically, the counters can be easily wiped down after use to prevent stains
or damage from accumulating.
2. Increase the Value of Your House
Kitchens are the most important room in
your house. It's where the meals are prepared, where everyone has breakfast in
the morning, and where people usually gather in the afternoon. And when it
comes to selling your house, it's no coincidence that perhaps the most
important room to the buyer is going to be the kitchen. It's hard to estimate
the impact installing marble countertops will have on the value of your house,
but it can make a big difference.
3. Granite Looks Sharp
It's a classic look. There's a reason
"granite countertops" is used as a shorthand for quality. With the
way they shine, and the several different patterns visible within the stone,
they have a natural and elegant style that simply can't be duplicated. And so
many colors! Granite doesn't just come in black and white anymore. Take a trip
around a granite showroom and you're bound to see all types of colors and
designs.
4. Scratch Resistance
You don't want to have to be delicate when
it comes to your kitchen. If you're cooking, or preparing to cook, or having
breakfast at the counter, you shouldn't have to concern yourself with making
nicks and scratches in your countertop. With granite, that is not a concern. It
can handle the roughest treatment, from kitchen knives to little kids engaging
in food fights.
5. Reduce the Risk from Bacteria and Dirt
Properly sealed and cleaned granite countertops
are nearly impenetrable. That means no matter how many late-night meals you
enjoy, or how much chopping and preparing you do on your countertop, there
won't be any residue building up in little cracks in the counter, because there
are no little cracks.
Between the gorgeous looks and durable
performance, it's worth checking out granite kitchen countertops
in Marietta.
