If you have read some of my other articles surrounding granite worktops and you will see that I am an advocate for them, this doesn't mean that I don't appreciate other worktops or feel that they have their uses because obviously granite isn't for everyone however given the choice, if the budget is available I will always go for granite. Below I have given some of my top reasons for choosing granite worktops above anything else: Granite worktops will save you money If you've looked at the cost of granite worktops then you're probably thinking that I've lost the plot for even thinking about suggesting that they will save you money, the price is higher than on any other type of worktop. The reason that they will save you money is that they can last over a decade before needing to be replaced. If you compare this to wood or laminate worktops which often need to be replaced every couple of years you can quickly see that even if granite worktops initially cost double the price you would still save a small fortune over time. Granite worktops are durable As granite worktops are the solid stone you'll find that they are resistant to things such as stains, water damage and heat, you can comfortably placed hot pans on these worktops without worrying about leaving marks and any spills you might make whilst cooking will no longer be a concern either. On top of this you can also feel comfortable in the knowledge that granite worktops are very difficult to break so even if you were to drop something heavy on them they should be fine. Maintaining granite worktops couldn't be easier When you own granite worktops you're going to need to apply a sealer to them approximately once every 12 months, this takes a few minutes to do and then that's it for another 12 months, it really couldn't be any simpler. There is also the added bonus that when it comes to cleaning these worktops all you need is some warm water, some detergent and a cloth. Also, because your worktops will be made from one solid piece of granite you will find that there are no joins where dirt can gather. Choosing granite can be good for the environment Unlike other worktops granite is 100% natural and therefore will leave a very low carbon footprint when compared to alternatives such as wooden worktops. Your granite worktop will be unique Because granite is natural no to pieces will ever be the same, they will always have slight differences in colour and in the pattern and this allows you to match your kitchen worktop to the rest of the decor within the room. Granite can make your home more desirable When it comes to selling your home having granite worktops as a part of your kitchen can help as it will appeal to more people and could even add additional value wherever worktops will not. When potential buyers few your house they will see that premium materials have been used and this can make a big difference as it is often the smaller details that can attract people. I'm sure the above has given you some food for thought and at the very least will help you to make up your mind.
