Natural Stone, Timeless Beauty
One of the best ways to get a high return on your investment when you remodel your home is by updating your kitchen and bath. A kitchen or bath remodel can bring you more than 100 percent return on your investment. In addition, outdoor kitchens are growing in popularity as are outdoor living areas. Whether you are remodeling an indoor kitchen, bathrooms or are planning to install an outdoor living area, consider using natural stone to further increase the value of your home.
Granite counters give your kitchen or bath a rich look and can actually bring the look of the outdoors inside your home. There are many granite countertops that are rated for outdoor use as well so you can use granite for an outdoor counter, table top or barbecue surface. Another way to bring granite into your home is to install granite flooring which can add a unique look to your kitchen, bath or entryway.
Engineered stone countertops are growing in popularity and are created with crushed granite mixed with other materials. Because the counters are manufactured, all slabs look the same, which is beneficial if you have a large area to cover and prefer a more uniform look. Engineered stone countertops are also harder than other types of counters, including other types of natural stone. They require less maintenance than quartz or marble as well.
If you are looking for luxury and richness in your kitchen or bath, consider installing marble flooring or countertops. Marble has a strong history in building, featured in historic homes, museums and other buildings. Marble is softer than other types of stone and requires additional care as well as maintenance. Marble must be sealed to protect the surface and acidic materials can leave stains. Be sure to wipe up tomato sauce, red wine and citrus juices right away to prevent damage.
Today’s kitchen is not limited to inside the home. Many homeowners are installing outdoor kitchens with large grills, stovetops and even refrigerators specially designed for outside use. Natural stone, like granite counters, are rated for outdoor use and can add a unique look to your outdoor kitchen or living space. If you want to bring more of the outdoors inside, consider installing granite flooring in an entrance or in your bathrooms. Marble flooring is another option that can add a beautiful look to any room as well.
