A kitchen remodeling project increases the value of the home significantly. When completing this project though, you want to ensure you buy high quality materials. Those who choose to use builder grade materials throughout the kitchen will find that the money spent won’t provide as much of a return on investment as higher quality materials will. For this reason, many turn to C&N Marble and Granite to select Granite Countertops Suffolk County NY for their kitchen remodeling project. There are many benefits to using granite for the new kitchen counter.
Granite is a very durable material, the most durable of natural materials, so it can withstand everyday use with ease. Cookware, cutlery and kitchen knives can be used directly on granite countertops without damaging the surface. Even man-made materials, such as Formica, can’t hold up to granite when it comes to use on kitchen counters. Granite Countertops Suffolk County NY won’t deteriorate when exposed to heat and the countertop will be resistant to chips, scratches and blisters. Furthermore, granite has low porosity which means it is highly stain, mold and mildew resistant.
In addition to the durability of granite, many opt to choose this material for kitchen countertops due to its beauty. Every granite stone is unique so your countertop is unlike others on the market today. Man-made materials, including those designed to mimic granite, just can’t match this beauty. Hundreds of colors may be selected along with a wide range of patterns so each customer can easily find one which blends in well with his or her overall kitchen decor. Granite is colored throughout also so fading is never an issue and the countertop looks great for years to come.
The key to having a beautiful kitchen countertop is to choose an experienced installer. The installer will be able to create the countertop of your dreams, using curves, arches, 90 degree angles and more. You may also choose to have a radiant heating system installed under the granite to warm up the surface of the countertop although many find they prefer the natural cool surface granite provides.
Your kitchen remains the center of your home. Make sure it’s a room you want to spend a great deal of time in. A granite countertop makes this more likely.
