(EstateNewsWire.com, July 12, 2012 ) Lebanon, IN – There are several methods used to finish new granite countertops. One may choose a polished finish, which is definitely the most popular, because the granite has beauty and depth when brought to a high gloss. Polished finishes also give a home a pristine and elegant touch in the kitchen. A polished finish on a granite countertop is a suitable choice for any kitchen. They are easier to maintain than most other finishes and have a high luster look allowing the color in one’s granite to reveal its deep natural grain. Polished granite countertops are available at Surface Encounters.
The popularity of honed finishes is on the rise in newly installed granite countertops. Honed finishes are smooth and have a lower luster than the polished finishes. Although this style of finish is less shimmering in appearance, it gives a home a slightly more relaxed and contemporary look, while still maintaining the elegant touch associated with granite countertops. One must remember that granite countertops which have a honed finish are known to show more stains than polished granite countertops installed by Surface Encounters (http://www.halfoffgranite.com/). When properly cleaned, maintained and cared for one’s honed granite countertops will last as long as any other finish.
Another option is a flamed finish. Flamed finishes are created by exposing the granite countertop material to an extremely intense heat followed immediately by intense cooling. The exposure to the extreme temperature causes the granite to melt, and remold the minerals which make up the granite. This process causes the granite countertops to have a textured surface. Flamed finishes are most commonly used in an industrial environment allowing the countertops to hold a product safely. Although used normally in industrial applications flamed finish granite countertops can offer a great look in one’s home. For garage work spaces, studios and craft areas flamed finishes are an excellent solution wherever one’s interest is in a surface that is textured and slip resistant.
Brushed finishes, sometimes referred to as antiqued finishes, are created when granite processors gently brush the granite’s surface developing a “worn-in” look throughout the stone. A brushed finish offers homeowners the most dramatic granite countertop surface.
Whether the finish is polished, honed, flamed or brushed, new granite countertops offer years and years of enjoyment to the homeowner. For more information on granite finishes visit http://www.granitecountertopslebanonindiana.com/
