Granite Countertops for Your Bathroom

From contractors to “do-it yourself” jobs, granite countertops have been one of the most popular choices for kitchen countertop installments. Many homeowners purchasing older homes or who haven't updated their kitchen in a decade or two typically have boring Formica. Replacing your countertops with granite is a way to enhance the beauty and value of your home.

Granite isn't only a popular choice for kitchen countertops, but it works exceptionally well in bathrooms as well. There are a number of reasons why granite works great for countertops. Granite looks aesthetically appealing, is extremely durable, it will increase the value of your home and no two pieces of granite look exactly alike, giving your countertop a unique look.

Bathroom countertops experience a lot of “wear and tear”. Because your countertops get frequent use from brushes, water, soaps, hair dryers and the list continues, it's a smart idea to install a countertop material that can withstand potential scratching, staining and chipping. Granite is a hard stone that is tough to scratch or chip and when sealed properly, is also tough to stain.

Your bathroom can be a place where you can go to relax by taking a warm bath or shower. Designing a bathroom that offers a peaceful retreat, as well as being a functional space is important. Granite comes in many warm and unique colors, while providing the durability that your space requires. Installing granite countertops in your bathroom will help to create a space that is unique, provide a durable countertops solution and even increase the value of your home.
