When considering granite as a choice for countertops;
most people come to the conclusion that they either can afford granite or they can’t! What they don’t consider in their decorating scheme is granite tile. As an interior
designer there are some situations in which I will offer it as a less
expensive option. For example; a home
that is being updated for sale or as an investment property to be rented… granite tile is an appropriate choice
for up to date home décor.   But a granite tile countertop
rather than one made from solid granite? As a design choice, I recommend this option
when the kitchen needs the feel of being “grand”
but budget does not allow it. Granite tile is about 1/3 the price of granite slab. Additionally granite tile styles and colors are numerous.  When paired with wood cabinetry,
a natural surface stone always looks better and adds polish & flair to the
design concept. And, as with any type of
countertop; whether it is part of kitchen décor or bathroom décor; a great installation
is just as important as the material being installed! A great installer knows
how to place the tile to minimize the number of cuts; and ensures that grout
lines are exceptionally thin.Additionally, the benefits of
granite are still realized whether
or not it is in tile form or slab form.
As a natural stone product, this igneous rock is relatively comparable
in hardness and strength as a diamond.
Its density causes it to be highly
resistant to bacteria, making it an ideal material for countertops. Since maintenance is minimal, why not consider
granite tile as a great value option? For assistance, contact us at
