(EstateNewsWire.com, July 13, 2012 ) Lafayette IN -- Granite Countertops come in two basic products. The most commonly known is the granite slab, however a countertop made of granite tiles is also available to the homeowner. Both are suitable for custom home kitchens, and are accepted as having equally as good longevity and attributes to beautify one’s home. While made of the same type of material each has their own unique defining characteristics.
The first material, a traditional choice, is a natural granite slab. A granite slab may vary in thickness and color depending on where the granite countertop was processed when purchased by the granite countertop installer. These slabs are mined as a single stone from a granite quarry and milled to a specific thickness and finished to the customer’s specifications. While natural granite slabs have a breathtakingly beautiful characteristic about them the color and grain pattern of the slab are usually unique. This uniqueness makes it very difficult to expand one’s kitchen countertop space or replace only a single piece later with a perfect match. Granite countertop installers at Surface Encounters (http://www.halfoffgranite.com/) recommend saving any spare granite countertop pieces in the event they are needed down the road.
Secondly, one may make the decision to choose a granite countertop made of granite tiles. Granite tiles are often made out of smaller, but equally as durable pieces of granite left over at a processing facility when making granite slabs. These granite tiles stick firmly to a countertop under-laminate when applied using a high strength construction adhesive. The tiles should then be sealed with two coats of clear granite sealant which will bring out the beauty of the natural granite in each tile.
When properly installed, custom countertops made of granite tiles offer the same elegant look of a granite slab countertop with all the desirable properties of a granite slab. The added bonus of choosing to use granite tiles as opposed to granite countertop slabs is that they may be purchased individually and intermixed when needed to add or repair additional counter space.
Both granite slab countertops and granite tile countertops are respected in the industry as home or business worthy. Both are available in an equal amount of unique and deep, rich colors and can be purchased at granite countertop companies like Surface Encounters. Both are considered to be an asset and both add value to one’s home or business.
