Top 3 Reasons Why Granite Is Always a Popular Choice

Top 3 Reasons Why Granite Is Always a Popular…

There’s no doubt about it — people love granite. Just ask any homebuyer, and they’ll tell you that granite is on their must-have list. But why is granite always a popular choice? Well for starters, granite is a natural stone. This gives it those stunning earthy colours and mesmerizing grainy accents that make it enhance the look of any kitchen or bathroom. It also means that each piece is unique from the next, making your design distinctly unique from your neighbours.

Learn more about this material and the top three reasons why granite is always a popular choice for homeowners and designers below.

Granite is More Than Ideal

Some people say that granite is “ideal,” but we think it’s much more than that. Granite is valued not only for its beauty but also for its durability. Crystals actually make up the stone, creating an interlocking structure that makes it virtually indestructible and even tougher than marble. It’s also scratch-resistant which means you don’t have to worry about the kids roughing it up. You can actually cut right on the surface without damaging the surface. And unlike other finishes, it requires little-to-no maintenance.

Unlimited Design Options

When you choose granite, you’re also receiving a unique piece of art. The crystals that make up the granite come in varying colours so that each slab is completely different from another. Some feature white, silver, black, and pink tones, and others will have greens, browns, and even blues throughout them. The unique visual qualities help make them such an attractive feature.

Incredibly Valuable

Granite is readily available as it’s mined all over the world. Although this helps to keep the cost low, it doesn’t impact the overall value. In fact, granite can actually increase your home’s resale value. Why? Because it’s often one of the first things buyers look for when scoping out the kitchen and bathroom. The natural glimmer and ability to reflect light gives any home an elegant ambiance and appeal.

When you’re ready to see what all the fuss is about, contact us at Granstone, or check out our online kitchen visualizer to envision what your future kitchen could look like. We’ll show you the natural beauty and plethora of colours that demonstrates why granite is always a popular choice. If you’re looking for a new countertop, we’re more than happy to answer all your questions.
