Why Homeowners Choose Granite Countertops
Timeless Elegance
Granite countertops exude a natural beauty, with each slab showcasing its unique patterns and colors. This ensures that no two countertops are exactly the same, granting your kitchen or bathroom a one-of-a-kind aesthetic.
Exceptional Durability
As one of the hardest natural stones, granite can withstand daily wear and tear with minimal scratching or chipping. It's a material built to last, ensuring your countertop remains pristine for decades.
Enhanced Home Value
Installing granite countertops is an investment in your home. Not only do they elevate the visual appeal of your space, but they can also increase your property's market value, making them a sound choice for both current living and future considerations.
Low Maintenance
Unlike some countertop materials that require rigorous maintenance, granite is relatively easy to care for. With routine cleaning and occasional sealing, your granite countertop will maintain its luster and beauty.
Heat Resistance
Love to cook? Granite countertops resist heat, making them ideal for kitchens where hot pots and pans are a norm. You can place them directly on the granite without any worry.
Hygienic
Granite's non-porous nature means that, when properly sealed, it doesn’t harbor bacteria or viruses. This makes it an excellent choice for kitchens and bathrooms where hygiene is paramount.
Versatility
Available in an array of shades and patterns, granite can complement any décor. Whether you're aiming for a modern minimalistic look or a traditional rustic charm, there's a granite countertop to match your vision.
Selection of Granite Countertop Finishes
The finish applied to the stone plays a pivotal role in accentuating its beauty and determining its tactile feel. Each finish imparts a distinct look and functionality to the stone, making it essential to choose the right one based on your preferences and the intended use.
When selecting a finish for your granite countertop, consider the aesthetic appeal and the practical aspects. Think about the room's lighting, the daily use the surface will endure, and the ambiance you aim to create. With the right finish, your granite countertop can truly be a centerpiece, combining form and function in the heart of your space.
High Gloss
As the name suggests, this finish offers a reflective, shiny surface that brings out the depth and vibrancy of the granite's colors.
Benefits of High Gloss Granite Finish
- Amplifies the stone's natural patterns and colors.
- Provides a sleek and modern look.
- Easy to clean due to its smooth texture.
Best For:
Kitchens, bathrooms, and areas where you want to showcase the granite's intricate designs and luxurious feel.
Honed
This finish is achieved by stopping the polishing process before the stone becomes shiny, resulting in a matte or low-gloss appearance.
Benefits of Honed Granite Finish
- Offers a softer, more natural look, toning down the stone's patterns.
- Less reflective than high gloss, reducing the visibility of scratches or etches.
- Provides a smooth texture without the shine.
Best For:
Homes seeking a contemporary or rustic vibe, and areas like countertops where a less reflective surface might be desirable.
Leathered
This unique finish combines the texture of natural stone with a touch of shine. It's achieved by brushing the stone's surface, which raises its natural pits and grooves.
Benefits of Honed Granite Finish
- Offers a tactile experience, adding depth and dimension.
- Resistant to fingerprints and water spots due to its textured surface.
- Retains the stone's natural gloss while showcasing its organic texture.
Best For:
Spaces where homeowners want a balance between rustic and polished or in high-use areas where minimal maintenance is a priority.
Granite Countertop Installation: What’s The Process?
The entire process, from slab selection to installation, is conducted with attention to detail, ensuring homeowners receive a countertop that not only enhances the beauty of their space but also offers unmatched durability and functionality.
Research and Inspiration
- Homeowners usually begin by researching different granite colors, finishes, and patterns, often drawing inspiration from design websites, magazines, or showrooms.
- With three prime locations in Warsaw, Elkhart, and Fort Wayne, Indiana, The Granite Shop invites customers to see, touch, and feel the slabs in person. This tangible experience aids in making more informed decisions.
Measurements & Estimate
- A technician from The Granite Shop visits the homeowner's space to take precise measurements of the countertops or areas where the granite will be installed.
- Based on the slab selected and the size of the project, an estimate is provided.
Slab Selection
- Once the homeowner decides on a specific slab after inspecting it in person, it's reserved for their project.
- It's crucial to inspect the actual slab as images or samples might not truly represent the stone's depth and variation.
Template Creation
A precise template of the countertop space is made. This ensures the slab is cut accurately, accommodating for sinks, faucets, cooktops, and any other fixtures.
Cutting & Fabrication
- Using the template, the slab is cut and shaped. This step is carried out with advanced machinery to ensure precision.
- Edges are profiled based on the homeowner's selection (e.g., rounded, beveled, or ogee edges).
- Any finish (high gloss, honed, leathered) is then applied to the granite's surface.
Quality & Inspection
- The Granite Shop experts conduct a thorough quality check, ensuring the slab has been correctly cut, polished, and finished according to the specifications.
Installation
- The old countertop, if any, is removed.
- The granite slab is then securely fixed in place. This step may include adding support structures, especially for larger spans or overhangs.
- Sinks, faucets, and other fixtures are installed or reinstalled.
- Seams, if any, are carefully sealed to ensure a smooth appearance and prevent any moisture infiltration.
