If you’ve ever spent your Sunday afternoon watching the home improvement network (and let’s face it, who hasn’t?) you’ve probably noticed that house hunters and home renovators alike all seem to become giddy at the thought of installing granite countertops. While granite is almost universally agreed to be one of the most attractive countertop materials (complementing a seemingly endless number of interior design schemes and available in a rainbow of colors), their benefits are not simply aesthetic. In fact, below are three reasons why everyone wants to get a piece of the rock in their kitchen or bathroom.
Strength and durability
Second only to diamond, granite is one of the heaviest and hardest materials you can introduce to your kitchen. This toughness means that you won’t have to worry about your granite countertops chipping, burning, scratching, or becoming dull and worn down over time—if properly installed, they will be the last set of countertops you will ever need.
Low-maintenance schedules
When professionals install granite countertops, they are covered in a thick layer of sealcoating that helps them resist damage from heat, spills, and the chaos of everyday life. This coating makes your countertops more sanitary and limits maintenance to occasional disinfection with soap and water.
Investment potential
While you may have to replace countertops made of laminate or quartz, you won’t have to deal with damage to your granite. Granite countertops can last over 30 years, making them a cost-effective solution in the long-term.
