Why Choose Stone For Your Kitchen?

You’re renovating your kitchen or designing your new home and you’ve made the decisions about the cabinets, floors, and appliances. But what about the countertops?

You may have decided to go with stone countertops but now you need to figure out which type of stone. The type of stone will depend on a few things and you really need to think about choosing the stone that will work for your kitchen while staying within your budget.


Are you a busy family with youngsters? You should be looking at having granite or quartz countertops installed. There are benefits to using both 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.


What if there are no kids to worry about and you’re all about the “look” of the kitchen area. The most popular choice in stone in this situation is marble. Marble is used in luxurious homes where children won’t be using the countertops. Marble is known to easily chip and scratch, meaning extra care must take place when they’re being used. Granite is also used in high-end designs because you can find a really unique slab that will suit your specific taste. Think about having the edges ofthe granite cut to show off your uniqueness. Busche Granite can help you with your marble or granite choice to achieve the luxury look you’re aiming for.


No matter how you are planning to use your kitchen countertops, there are stone that will meet your needs. Along with how you will use the countertops, keep your budget in mind. Think about the size of the countertops as well. If the size of the counters to be installed are covering a smaller space, you may be able to afford a product that you thought you couldn’t. Busche Granite will more than happy to discuss all of your options.
