Why You Should Consider Granite Countertops

If you are re-imagining your kitchen or bathroom and have yet to decide on countertops, consider the granite option. Granite countertop installation is one of the many services available through the Los Angeles general contractors at Joel & Co. Construction. Take a moment to learn what makes granite a superior countertop choice before discussing ideas with the bathroom and kitchen remodeling experts.

Unique

Choose granite countertops knowing your selected slabs are completely unique. No two slabs of granite are the same, with each featuring its own swirls, fissures, and veins. Hundreds of color choices are available as well. You therefore do not have to worry about seeing your exact countertops in a friend or family member’s home.

Durable

Enjoy the supreme durability of granite. It is one of the hardest materials the natural world has to offer, and is both heat and scratch-resistant. Granite holds up against bathroom and kitchen activities that would damage lesser materials. For example, you can place hot kitchen appliances such as toaster ovens and griddles on granite without worrying about burning it. It is also resistant to moisture, unlike vinyl countertops. Vinyl countertops eventually succumb to moisture by separating and allowing even more water to seep through. Granite is immune to acid damage as well.

Bacteria-Resistant

Perform messy kitchen tasks with raw meat and the like without worrying about bacteria hanging around. Granite is a sanitary countertop material that does not harbor bacteria and germs.

Classic

Revel in the timelessness of granite countertops. They remain a classic countertop option that will look just as lovely 10 or 20 years from now.

Easy To Maintain

Keep granite clean with a few easy steps. Simply spray a recommended cleaner, let it stand for 15 to 30 seconds, then scrub granite with a sponge. Finish by buffing the countertop with a clean rag or paper towel.

Granite is clearly a wonderful countertop choice!
