Stone For Your Home
If you’re thinking of using stone in your home, you’re not alone...
The use of stone throughout your home will increase your home’s value and show off your unique personality.
Most people use stone for their kitchen countertops and backsplashes. Why not? Stone is very durable and will withstand all uses. Your choice of stone will be unique to you and your taste, especially with the use of granite. Each piece of this particular stone is different because it’s totally natural and quarried from different parts of the earth. You can look at it and know that no one else will have it in their kitchen. When you choose stone for your kitchen you will have made a choice that will last a very long time, so the investment is money well spent. Stone countertops are very durable as well as beautiful.
You won’t have to think about replacing them any time soon. Most stone materials are heat and scratch resistant which is perfect for use in a busy kitchen space. Remember, should noticeable damage occur, the team at Busche Granite can do a quick repair. Stone countertops are easy to look after. They just need a wipe to keep them shiny and clean. To keep them extra sanitary, just use a mild soap and warm water. Keep in mind that stones, such as granite and quartz, are non-porous so they are not a breeding ground for germs and bacteria. Talk to Busche Granite when they install your countertops about having them sealed. The sealing process is an extra layer of protection to keep your new granite counters looking perfect for years to come. A large stone countertop will be very smooth meaning very few or joints. Chances are the stone will be installed in one piece. Perhaps you are a busy family with little ones.
Consider having granite or quartz countertops installed in your home. There are benefits to using these materials in the kitchen. Granite is very durable natural stone making it hard to scratch. If it’s been sealed, it’s heat resistant. Spills are easily cleaned up and the countertop won’t stain. Just wipe ‘em down! The other popular choice is using quartz for your kitchen countertops. Quartz has the same basic qualities as granite but it’s man-made which is thought to make it stronger than granite. You should be aware that quartz countertops don’t need to be sealed. Like granite, just wipe ‘em down when a spill happens! Both these options will work for busy kitchens. The pros at Busche Granite will work with you in choosing the right stone for your family.
