You may have seen
a granite countertop at someone
else’s home – probably that of a rich friend. However, what do you know about
its history? The first time that stone suppliers started to experiment with
polished granite was in 1831. It was only in 1851 that polished granite became
a popular surface for using in countertops. It was in this year that at the
Great Exhibition of the Industry of All Nations of London a finished piece of
granite was shown. As far as countertops are concerned granite is an
exceptional medium – perhaps the best that you would get out there.
As far as stones
are concerned it happens to be the most durable. Only diamonds can compare to
granite in terms of hardness. As a medium it can be quite versatile as well.
This is why professionals and home chefs like granite as a material for
building their countertops. You can easily place a hot pot on a granite surface
and it will not get hurt even in the least. You can also work quite easily with
confectionery and dough on granite. Since these countertops are naturally
beautiful they can easily complement any kind of cabinets – be it wood or
something else.
When you have a granite countertop you can go for any
kind of cabinet – the latest modern styles as well as French country. As a
stone, granite is really attractive and when you install it in a room you can
be sure that you are adding beauty and warmth to the same. Granite countertops have been really popular for designers for many
years now. These days, even common people are looking out for these
countertops. Granite offers plenty of variety in terms of colors. There are
around 100 colors in which they are available. There are different kinds of
white apart from shades like brown, blue, red, black, and green.
