Installing a granite counter top is not cheap, but is it worth the price? Granite is a natural stone, hence its color, shade and arrangement of veins differ from slab to slab, making each one unique and aesthetically-pleasing. It is also a hard stone and therefore, highly-durable. It is not only scratch and heat-resistant, but is also immune to freezing as well.
Granite counter tops can add value to a property. Home buyers usually find more value in a home that has a granite counter top in the kitchen. This is a plus point for homeowners who intend to sell their property in future. The distinct colors of each individual slab can add variations to an otherwise dull kitchen. Granite counter tops is not protected from staining, but this can be easily resolved using upgraded sealers. A granite counter top can last for generations with good maintenance. Homeowners must take care to substitute acidic home cleaning products that can eat away at polished surfaces with neutral cleaning products.
If more than one slab is needed to install your granite counter top, there will be noticeable seams which will throw off the flow of the counter top due to the distinctive patterns of each granite slab. Alternatively, you can choose to install a granite counter top with different panels, If the granite seams are narrow, the granite panels will come together to look like a whole piece of slab.
Granite counter tops are durable, stunning to look at and are generally easy to maintain. However, their installation is costly and so is their restoration. If you intend to pass down your home to future generations, then installing granite counter tops is definitely a worthwhile investment. If you are still searching for your dream home, then perhaps it would be best to leave the installation for when you find the perfect house.
