Kitchen Countertops in Miami

A good kitchen countertop is both visually appealing, as well as sustainable. With the variety of countertops available to choose from, it can be difficult to make a decision. What product is the optimal choice for your home?

Many homeowners swear by granite countertops surfaces. A granite surface is known to be extraordinarily durable, resistant to scratches, in addition to other potential damages. Damage to a countertop can occur easily as the kitchen is easily the most used room in the home. Consider dropping something on a granite countertop. As a solid surface, it is likely to chip or crack. Though this situation is unfortunate, this is a stark advantage over other materials like recycled glass countertops. With glass, dropping something can lead to an entire surface replacement. Additionally, granite’s scratch resistant nature prevents slips on the butcher block and a wide range of other circumstances from becoming permanent, unseemly eyesores.

Granite is additionally a heat resistant stone. This makes granite the ideal choice for cooking with pots and pans. Placing a hot device or utensil on a granite surface results in no damage whatsoever. However, with a laminate countertop, or wood countertops, placement of a hot pot or pan can lead to warping and other damage.

Considering aesthetics, granite is available in a variety of stunning colors. Some of these designs can replicate the look of marble. Each type of granite design is unique in its individuality, accompanied by naturally occurring stains and specks. Granite surfaces provide these numerous benefits. However, if this is not enough, granite is also a stain resistant, easy to clean material. By applying a small amount of mineral oil, a granite countertop can look elegant and luxurious again in no time.

Granite Specifications

Aside from elegant patterning, there are numerous ways granite differs from other countertop materials. Depending on the look you need, there is a plentiful amount of looks granite can create.

Slab or tile: Granite countertops come in two forms, slab, and tile. A granite slab is a solid, seamless piece approximately 10 feet long. If a seamless slab is too expensive for your budget, tile is the best solution for your needs.

Thickness and overhang: Granite thickness varies. The preferred granite thickness is an inch and a quarter. You can also choose how far the granite extends from the counter. If you need seating space or additional cooking space, you can extend granite several inches beyond the counter.

Finishes: There are three main types of granite countertop finishes.

1. Polished: This creates a smooth, reflective surface that makes it much easier for cleaning. The granite has a shiny, glass aesthetic, highlighting imperfections that it may have.
2. Leather: When a diamond tipped brush is moved along the granite surface, it creates a leathery look and feel. This is a great option for cleaning and hiding imperfections.
3. Honed: This is a smooth finish but isn’t shiny or reflective. It removes the flare and masks any imperfections in the granite. Some refer to this finish as a matte finish.

Due to the variety of different customization options, granite is the best material for any kitchen cabinet. Do you need a long-lasting addition to your home that friends and family can enjoy? Choose a granite pairing with a set of new all wood kitchen cabinets.
