Granite Countertops

For many home owners, granite is the ultimate counter top. Nothing makes a kitchen look more elegant than a custom-fit natural granite countertop. For sheer beauty, depth of character, and luxurious depth of color, a granite counter top is unequalled.

Advantages of Granite Countertops

Granite counter tops will never blister or crack. And it's hard to even scratch one. Granite countertops are truly the ultimate in durability.

Granite counter tops vary widely in color, so you can choose the right tones to complement your kitchen. Whether you want your granite counter tops to be pink, grey, black or green... light, dark or in between... you'll find the perfect granite countertop to match your designer kitchen.

Last but not least, granite countertops look fabulous. Though man-made countertops have come a long way, it's impossible to improve upon nature when it comes to kitchen counter tops: granite - with its incredible depth, varying colorations and natural sparkle - is simply unmatched as a kitchen countertop material.

Disadvantages of Granite Countertops

Nothing's perfect, including granite counter tops. The main disadvantage is simply their cost. Custom-fit granite counter tops are very expensive, so they're not for every home. Another potential disadvantage to granite countertops is its sheer hardness; if you're not gentle, you can actually break a fragile wine glass by lowering it onto a granite countertop.
