Granite

When you choose granite countertops for your new project, the list of benefits is simply astounding. This natural stone offers a bevy of benefits including design flexibility, superior durability, and so much more! Here are even more great benefits of granite that you can expect to see with your granite countertop installation.

  • Sanitary Surfaces – With the application of a high-quality sealant, you can enjoy a non-porous and highly hypoallergenic surface. You can enjoy peace of mind knowing your surfaces won’t harbor odors, bacteria, viruses, or other harmful microbes.
  • Durable – Compared to alternative materials like marble, granite is incredibly hard. Granite countertops are less likely to be chipped, cracked, or scratched. In fact, your granite countertops are more likely to dull your knives than be scratched by them.
  • Little-to-Low Maintenance – Granite countertops needs very little when it comes to upkeep and maintenance. A high-quality sealant should be applied during countertop installation. You’ll need to have your sealant re-applied periodically. This will ensure your stone offers stunning beauty and superior performance for decades. Best of all, a mild soap and water mixture is all that’s needed for daily cleaning!

One of the biggest factors in the popularity of granite countertops is the added value they bring to your home. Granite countertops last for decades and won’t depreciate over time. And, if you ever decide to place your home on the market, you are more likely to see a higher return on your investment. Not only do these natural stone countertops help your home to sell faster, granite countertops also help to garner higher offers from serious buyers.
