(EMAILWIRE.COM, April 06, 2012 ) Dearborn Heights -- Though the continuous slab is the most desired look for new granite countertops, many people prefer the unique style of using granite tiles. Both styles of granite countertops are suitable for custom home kitchens, and are accepted as having equally as good longevity and attributes to beautify oneÂ’s home. While made of the same type of material each has their own unique defining characteristics.
Most popular is a natural granite slab. A granite slab may vary in thickness and color depending on where the granite countertops were processed when purchased by the installer. These slabs are mined as a single stone from a granite quarry and milled to a specific thickness and finished to the customerÂ’s specifications. While natural granite slabs have a breathtakingly beautiful characteristic about them the color and grain pattern of the slab are usually unique.
Some homeowners prefer a tiled design for their new granite countertops. Granite tiles are created from smaller, but equally durable and beautiful pieces of granite. These granite tiles stick firmly to a countertop under-laminate when applied using a high strength construction adhesive. The tiles should then be sealed with two coats of clear granite sealant which will bring out the beauty of the natural granite in each tile.
When properly installed, granite countertops made of granite tiles offer the same elegant look of a granite slab countertop with all the desirable properties of a granite slab. The added bonus of choosing to use granite tiles as opposed to granite countertop slabs is that they may be purchased individually and intermixed when needed to add or repair additional counter space.
Both granite slab countertops and granite tile countertops are respected in the industry as home or business worthy. Both are available in an equal amount of unique and deep, rich colors and can be purchased at Surface Encounters. Both are considered to be an asset and both add value to oneÂ’s home or business.
