Install A Granite Top In Your Kitchen


Submitted by: Louie Dale

Many women, and not a few guys, are rather particular about their kitchen area. They like every thing to be just so and hate anything to look messy. If they have Formica counter tops it drives them crazy as the Formica often cracks and also chips and it can be difficult to replace because the patterns alter on a regular basis. This is the reason most top chefs and people who love their kitchens enjoy having a granite top instead of a Formica covered top.

It might not be the cheapest thing in the world to have granite tops installed in your kitchen though. The granite needs to be mined and processed as well as polished as well as cut as well as shaped before it can be installed in your house. This is a rather lengthy and labour intensive process which means that the actual completed product is not going to be inexpensive either. The end result is definitely worth it though.

It’s also entirely possible that you will have to either strengthen your cupboards or even replace them to support the stone. Granite tops are usually a lot heavier than pressed wood covered in Formica. It really will appear a good deal prettier and will last a lot longer as well.

You can be certain that once you’ve changed to a granite top you will not look back and will want to ensure that each and every kitchen you have from then on has the exact same kind of counter top. Granite does not chip or even crack or peel when it is used a little roughly. You can even use the counters as cutting boards, something you would not get away with on a Formica top counter. It’s also extremely simple to clean. All you need is hot water and a cloth and even the most sticky mess can be wiped away. Formica has a tendency to form cracks and crevices where food debris as well as grime get caught and make even the most clean counter appear dirty since you are not able to get rid of the grime.

This hard wearing property of the granite top additionally makes it a much more hygienic surface for kitchens than Formica is ever going to be. You do not have the cracks and crevices where food can get caught as well as breed bacteria when your kitchen counters are done in granite. This means that your kitchen could be a lot cleaner and safer for your loved ones.

It’s no surprise that the best chefs and people who love their kitchen area prefer to have a granite top as opposed to a wood or even Formica top. Granite just lasts so much better and keeps things a lot more healthy in your kitchen. If you are planning to be redoing your kitchen it may be a good idea to hold off and save a little longer to be able to afford to have granite put in rather than replacing that old Formica with brand new Formica that will wear out just as quickly. Think about it, you will like the outcome, I promise.
