There are many!

• It’s readily available
• Astounding range of colours. It comes in grey, black or almost white, but can also be found in pink, blue, green and almost any other color. Mixed with these will be specks, veins or swirls that make every piece of granite unique and dramatic.
• Durability and strength. You can chop things on the surface, for example, and the stone is so hard, it won’t scratch. (After all, in order to cut granite, saws tipped with diamonds are needed). Granite can also withstand heat. Similairly vanity tops made of granite for the bathroom will endure hair straighteners and blow dryers.
• Hygienic. Unlike Wooden worktops – it doesn’t shelter bacteria
• Cleaning granite worktops is easy, and if the stone is well sealed and polished, it’s highly resistant to staining.
• It’s kid-friendly! Granite will survive virtually all the rough usage a bunch of active, growing children can dish out.
• Financial: Granite will increase the value of your home.

Granite worktops will increase the saleability and therefore value of your home. Therefore – see it as an investment rather than a cost. Remember, you don’t need to replace the whole kitchen – just do the worktops!

A properly chosen and fitted worktop can make all the difference to your kitchen – and to your home. The kitchen needs to be efficient, clean and functional and at the same time is probably the part of your home people see most of, most often – so it needs to look good!

A properly fitted kitchen will make the kitchen the true heart of the home – and the worktops are the most important component of the kitchen, both aesthetically and functionally.

The first consideration is colour. Your worktop should of course coordinate with the rest of the kitchen, and there are different colour ranges available depending on the material you choose. Whilst Granite is limited to the colours of the rock where it was extracted it might surprise you to discover the wide range of granite colours available. Dales Granite can provide samples of over 60 different granite colours! Call us now to arrange a free, no pressure, no obligation visit. We’ll provide you with a detailed written quotation and an estimate on the spot. (call Paul on 07812 640 314)

From a design perspective Granite is versatile and can be cut to satisfy the majority of designs. For simple, square surfaces, there’s probably nothing more beautiful than a big slab of granite.

An additional benefit of granite is the facility to create upstands, splashbacks and window-sills. Careful consideration at design stage, combining 30mm thick worktops with 20mm upstands and window-sills can transform an ordinary kitchen into a show-home kitchen.
