Granite Kitchen Countertops: An Introduction

There are a variety of different types of kitchen countertops to choose from. One of the most popular options for many people is granite. Granite countertops offer beauty as well as durability and enhance the appearance of almost any kitchen. There are several other benefits to granite as well. For example, granite countertops usually increase the resale value of a home and are a major selling point for home buyers. In addition granite countertops come in many colors and styles which allows them to blend well with many different decorating styles. 
Like all things not everything about granite is positive. Granite countertops are very sensitive to temperature variations so owners must be careful not to place hot items directly onto the countertops. If homeowners place hot pots and pans on these countertops they run the risk of cracking the granite and this is a major problem.
These are just a couple of the pros and cons of granite counter tops. Stay tuned as we cover this kitchen staple in more detail in future posts.
