Granite countertops have long been associated with luxury homes, but with new fabrication methods, the material has become more affordable, making it the perfect upgrade for every homeowner. These counters have become a popular choice for people across Hawaii looking to increase their home’s value and improve the appearance of their kitchen. The team at Big Island Granite Co., based in Hilo, shares several reasons you should consider upgrading your countertops to granite.

3 Reasons to Install Granite Countertops

1. Granite Is Durable

Granite is one of the hardest stones, and its strength carries over to your countertops. You won’t have to worry about the surface chipping or warping due to heat, making it ideal for a busy home chef who wants a space to make food prep and cooking easier. The surface is also resistant to impact damage, and any scratches can be quickly polished away, restoring the glossy finish. Furthermore, the material is incredibly stain-resistant once sealed, so messes are easy to clean up without altering the color of your countertops.

2. Granite Comes in Different Colors

Granite countertopsWhile you may be familiar with the black and gray speckled granite, it’s not the only option out there. Granite gets its color from other rocks and minerals, and the color can vary based on where the granite was quarried. This means there’s a color perfect for your kitchen, no matter what type of theme you’re looking to create.

3. It’s Available in Prefabricated Sheets

If you’re looking to achieve the high-end appearance of granite without the cost of custom-cut panels, you’re in luck. Granite countertops are available as prefabricated slabs that are simple to install and just as easy to maintain as custom panels. However, because they’re pre-cut, they can help reduce your installation and labor costs significantly.
