If you’ve seen granite or other natural
stone installed in homes, you already know about its impressive
visual appeal. The subtle variations in color and the “movement”
in the surface created by patterns in the grain make every application
one of a kind and uniquely beautiful.
What you may not know is that, from the standpoint
of its physical characteristics, granite is also a superior material
when it’s used in applications such as:
| • |
Kitchen countertops |
| • |
Vanity countertops |
| • |
Fireplace surrounds and hearths |
| • |
Shower and tub surrounds |
| • |
Tiles |
Granite comes in a variety of natural colors that
can complement virtually any cabinetry colors. The hardness of granite
is second only to diamond, so the surface can withstand usage that
other materials can not. For example, granite countertops are impervious
to hot pots and pans. Also, the surface does not stain or scratch
easily. In instances when a natural stone surface is damaged virtually
invisible repairs can be made.
Unlike most home improvements such as cabinets, appliances,
and laminate countertops that add only a fraction of their cost
to the appraised value of the home, granite and other natural stone
countertops and amenities maintain their value.
When natural stone is correctly sized, cut, and installed,
it can last a lifetime.
Natural stone provides a unique combination of beauty
and durability that make it a wise investment for your home.
