Toughness: If you are looking for a countertop that can put up with a lot, granite is a great choice. Granite is naturally hard. It takes a lot to scratch it and it can take a bit of beating. If you have young children, or even older children, it is a good surface for your kitchen because it can handle a hectic lifestyle

Convenience: With many types of countertop you have to use hot pads under anything you pull from the oven, or from your stovetop. That all changes with granite. You can pull hot pans directly from your oven and set them down on the surface of your new granite countertops. Natural stone can take the heat. You will find that baking and cooking is a lot more convenient when you don’t have to go searching for that blasted hot pad.

Natural Beauty: There is just something about the look and feel of a natural stone surface like granite. You can pick through a variety of colors and styles, but the cool elegance of granite is going to transform your kitchen. You can go with dark colors to add richness, or choose lighter colors to add a clean, cool feeling. When you want to add value to your home, granite is always a winning choice

Personalization: When you decide on the perfect color and type of granite countertop for your kitchen, there is one more step that can add even more personalization. During the fabrication process, you get to decide on the edge you want for your countertops. There are a lot of different types and styles to choose from. Even if you have the same color as your best friend, you can choose an edge that is unique.
