Counter tops made of granite slabs are currently the best quality granite counter tops made on in the market today. Granite has been known to be the toughest and also the most durable materials because of its resistance to heat, most stains, pressure, and even bacteria. It is also extremely easy to maintain granite and to keep it clean. These are just some of the many reasons for why granite is such a common and popular choice for counter tops, dining tables, and also kitchen work tables.

Granite counters that use granite slabs are literally derived from huge slabs on a rock called granite. This granite can be firstly delivered to your house as slabs and then installed at your home into the shape needed. Granite slab counters have less seams and creases than modular or tile granite tops. It also does not need any support material. Granite slabs can be found in many different shapes and sizes but they range generally between four and five feet in the depth and it is between seven and nine feet in its width.

1.24 inch thick slabs of granite are generally utilized to make counters. Even though a slab is generally one big piece, the manner in which granite is formed makes it so that the individual sections of the slab are different in style and patterns. This basically means that in one slab there might be a section that is slightly thicker than the other spots. The different colors, textures, and patterns of granite is something that makes granite so unique because each individual slab will be different from every other. You could also find some thinner slabs if you so choose, however, these will need to be supported by a board. Normal thickness slabs do not require support materials.

Installing the counter should best be done by a professional to ensure best quality. The slabs will most likely be extremely heavy so the installation process will be difficult to do alone–especially for people who are not trained to do it. Also, the different thicknesses throughout the granite makes it even harder to work with. This is why it should be left to a professional.

Because of the toughness of granite, it is an extremely good choice as an addition to your kitchen. The scratches that occur naturally from knives will not at all damage the surface of your granite. Granite can also withstand extreme temperatures and even placing a hot pan will not damage the counter top.Cleaning them will also not be too difficult to do. Adding granite to your kitchen can be done quickly and economically and it will add beauty to your kitchen!
