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 granitetiles 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.
