(EstateNewsWire.com, September 12, 2012 ) Harsens Island – Surface Encounters granite installers are often asked for their recommendation in the granite slab vs granite tile countertop. When deciding which style is the best to use, one must consider how each has its own unique defining characteristics. Both granite slab and granite tile countertop styles will add beauty and elegance to a kitchen while offering excellent performance and durability.
For many people the granite slab vs granite tile decision is easy. Most popular is a natural granite slab. A granite slab may vary in thickness and color depending on where the stone was processed when purchased by the granite countertop installer. These slabs are mined as a single stone from a granite quarry and milled to a specific thickness and finished to the customer’s specifications. While natural granite slabs have a breathtakingly beautiful characteristic about them the color and grain pattern of the slab are usually unique. Consumers can view whole granite slabs at Surface Encounters granite showroom (http://www.halfoffgranite.com/).
Some homeowners faced with the granite slab vs granite tile choice will lean toward the tile option for a unique look. Granite tiles are often made out of smaller, but equally durable pieces of granite left over at a processing facility when making granite slabs. 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.
The granite slab vs granite tile choice depends entirely on the homeowner’s preference. 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 upside of choosing granite tiles is that they may be purchased individually and intermixed when needed to add or repair additional counter space. The downside is the grout lines can require extra attention when wiping the countertop to clear all debris left behind from meal preparation.
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 one’s home or business.
