As far as the various kinds of granite countertops are concerned the granite tile countertops are the most inexpensive of their kind. The beauty of these countertops is that you can install them by yourself as well. This is probably one major reason as to why they are so cheap – you do not need pay money to a professional installer to install them at your home. In this style of countertops you install granite tiles on the countertop that you already have. Here you use epoxy to attach the tiles instead of using grout and mortar as may be used in order to install the other kinds of granite countertops.
You might think that this is a lot
like installing floor tiles and you are not at all wrong in thinking so. These
are basically floor tiles that have been repurposed in order to be used atop
countertops. This also implies that you are going to get your fair share of
seams, which is something no one really wants in her kitchen. Still what works
for it is the fact that it is a cheap way of getting a granite countertop in
your kitchen, and that you can install it yourself.
Now, this is one major decision that
you need to take. You will either get stylish looking slab granite that will
cost you a fortune to buy and a lot to install or you will have to make do with
these alternatives that may not be as pretty but work almost as well and save a
lot of money as well. You can get these tiles at any home remodeling store and
they cost as little as four dollars for each square foot. This price is however
only applicable when you are using granite sheets that are 3/4th of
an inch.
