Natural Stone, Timeless Beauty
If you are considering a bathroom or kitchen remodel, you are probably confused about the many different options available for countertops. You aren’t sure whether to choose granite, marble or some other material. Choosing to remodel your kitchen or bathroom is an excellent decision as it can significantly increase the resale value of your home, but you want to be sure that the counters you choose will also improve your home’s value.
Granite countertops are stunningly beautiful and they have been that way since they were used as far back as ancient Egypt. Sunlight reflects on the countertops so that you can actually see the depth of the granite. When you choose granite, you find that no two pieces are the same as the pattern, specks and pitting varies with each slab of the stone. Granite also does not harbor bacteria and is very easy to clean.
Quartz countertops are lower priced than granite, but come with many of the same benefits. Because quartz countertops are engineered stone countertops, they can be crafted in a controlled atmosphere. Since there are no defects in the stone, there are no additional costs because the counter must be cut in a different way. Engineered stone countertops are strong and non-porous, much like granite, making them resistant to bacteria as well.
There is no doubt that marble adds a touch of elegance to any room and marble countertops are no exception. Marble comes in many different colors and each slab of the stone is unique. Marble is heat-resistant as well as resistant to scratches, cracks and breakage. Marble is also surprisingly less expensive than other countertop options, despite its classic, rich beauty.
Updating kitchens and bathrooms can be a huge undertaking. There are many options available if you want to modernize the rooms. You may want to consider marble flooring in your bathroom, giving it a rich, classic feel. Or your kitchen may be the perfect place for granite flooring. Granite is water and stain resistant, making it an excellent option for kitchens.
