In designing your kitchen, kitchen counter tops should be a
top priority. Kitchen counter tops can be made with several different
materials: granite, marble, concrete, ceramic, limestone, wood,
quartz, slate, silestone and even stainless steel!
With any part
of a kitchen you wish to redesign, you must consider if you want to
install a new kitchen counter top or refinish it. Most will
consider matching the colors of their counter tops with their kitchen
cabinets, but straying from this idea could results in a unique and
pleasant design that is exclusive to your kitchen. Today in Ottawa, many
homeowners are fitting granite in older homes as well as new ones.
Granite countertops
are one of the hottest new counter top styles available for your
kitchen!
What exactly is granite, and why would you want a granite
countertop?
Granite is second
only to the diamond in its hardness as a stone, which can resist the
abuse of an every day chef. It is generally distinguished by it's
grainy composition, and can come in a variety of rough or polished
colors. Granite is striking, functional and extremely durable.
These traits make granite ideal for kitchen countertops, accent islands,
bar tops, everyday dining tables, and many other uses. If you are
looking for a clean, professional look in your kitchen, granite
countertops are likely your best choice. The dark "marble" look of a
granite counter have given nothing but class to the kitchens. Granite
counter tops also have an extremely shiny finish that is easy to keep
clean, which is also a bonus on a surface where you plan on preparing
food and such.
What's the difference between marble and granite?
Although both are stones and both are quarried from the earth, granite
and marble (and marble’s relatives – limestone, onyx and travertine) are
very different from each other. Granite is formed deep in the earth’s
mantle at extremely high temperatures, and is a very hard, resistant
stone made of crystallized minerals. The marble family – limestone,
travertine, marble, onyx – starts out as sediment – animal skeletons and
shells, plant matter, silt – at the bottom of bodies of water. After
millions of years this solidifies (lithifies) into stone. Because its
main component is calcium, it can be affected by acids such as vinegar
and citrus beverages.
