Various granite countertops Edmonton companies sell them without proper guidance to the customer. Whether you are renovating an old house or constructing a new one, granite kitchen countertop is ‘the’ one thing that you cannot ignore. Granite countertops have recently grown in popularity. There are many reasons why granite has acquired the top spot as a kitchen counter top material.

Although, there are myriad benefits of getting a granite countertop for your kitchen, but some of them are listed below:

1. They look lavish and have a splendid natural beauty. They can be availed in vast arrays of colors, shades, and textures. Colors to compliment almost any decor set-up can be found in granites, whether it’s a neutral color or something in bright, your personal quench can always be satisfied. Moreover, your counter top will require more than one slab to fill the space, hence make sure each slab has the same shade or has come from the same mine batch.

2. Granite kitchen counter tops are extremely durable. Unlike Formica, which is prone to get affected by hot pots or pans, granite on the other hand is resilient to any such problems. It also resists staining and discolouring if it is carefully sealed periodically. Sealing can be done by anyone, and a granite counter top that is properly sealed will remain shiny for a lifetime.

3. Every slab differs from the next in some features be it the pattern, the color textures etc. Distribution and depth vary from slab to slab and thereby provide a different character altogether. Any kind of flooring, cabinet finish or cabinet fixtures can blend with the granite counter top and provide an unmatchable richness to your kitchen.

4. Granite counter tops, although are a bit expensive, but will definitely be worth the price. This is one of those few investments that can really increase the value of your home. Granite as a kitchen counter top will make your home look more appealing and thus will increase the value of your home altogether. Moreover, it doesn’t really matter whether you are planning to sell your home soon or not as granite is one such thing that does not fade away with time and will retain its charm even after 30-40 years.

While choosing the color and pattern of the granite for your kitchen, carefully consider your home decor. Ponder over questions like; will you change the decor or not, will the granite shade match with the overall look of the kitchen or not etc. Try to go for neutral colors as they are more flexible and can complement any decor changes in the future. Choose carefully and don’t rely on somebody else like a construction expert to choose the granite for you. This is your house and hence it would be good if you make this decision yourself.
