Looking
into new granite
kitchen countertops for your Plymouth home? This is an exciting time! Everyone knows
that granite makes an excellent material for kitchens due to its durability,
style and variety. But, before you get to sit back and enjoy your stunning new granite
kitchen countertops, there will be a few decisions you will have to make about
their fabrication and installation. As experts in all things granite, the
professionals at Minneapolis Granite have put together a overview on what to
expect when selecting your home’s new stylish addition.
On Sealing
Most
manufacturers of granite countertop slabs seal the granite before it is
fashioned into what it will ultimately be used for. One type of granite may be
more porous than another type of granite.
Occasionally,
you may have to reseal your granite kitchen countertops. Indicators emerge when
resealing is called for. For example, keep an eye out for water beading or if
you place a glass upon your granite and a ring occurs, resealing may be
necessary.
Choosing Your Slab
of Granite
When you are picking out new granite kitchen countertops, you should
definitely see the granite slabs in person before you buy. That way, you can
see firsthand the styles, colors and patterns you have to choose from. If you
just see the countertops online or in a picture, it can be difficult to tell
what the true colors or patterns are and how they look in different lighting or
in your unique design. Seeing them in person can help you decide what colors
and patterns you like best.
Consider Unique Edge Profiles
Make that
slab yours! Once you’ve selected your granite slab, it’s time to customize your
new granite kitchen countertops and make them uniquely yours. A custom edge
profile is one of the ways to get even more about your granite kitchen countertops.
There are a number of standard options, which can be added on for no charge.
Custom edge treatments can be added on for a fee. There is no right or
wrong choice, just whatever you think will look best with your home’s unique
style.
