A lot of women, and not a few guys, are rather specific about their kitchen area. They like every thing to be just so and detest anything to look messy. If they have Formica counters it drives them crazy as the Formica frequently cracks and chips and it can be tough to replace as the patterns alter on a regular basis. This is the reason most top chefs and people who adore their kitchens enjoy having a granite top instead of a Formica covered top.
It might not be the cheapest thing in the world to have granite tops installed in your kitchen though. The granite needs to be mined as well as processed and polished as well as cut as well as shaped prior to it being installed in your house. It is a rather lengthy as well as labor intensive procedure which means that the actual completed product is not going to be cheap either. The end result is definitely worth it though.
It's also entirely possible that you will need to either reinforce your cupboards or replace them to support the stone. Granite tops are usually a lot heavier than pressed wood covered in Formica. It really will look a good deal prettier and will last a great deal longer too.
You can be sure that once you have changed to a granite top you won't look back and will want to make sure that each and every kitchen you have from then on has the exact same type of counter top. Granite doesn't chip or crack or peel when it's used just a little roughly. You may also make use of the counters as cutting boards, something that you would not get away with on a Formica top counter. It's also very easy to clean. All you need is hot water and a cloth and even the most sticky mess can be wiped away. Formica has a tendency to form cracks as well as crevices where food debris and dirt get caught and make even the most clean counter-top appear dirty since you are not able to get rid of the dirt.
This hard wearing property of the granite top also makes it a much more hygienic surface for kitchens than Formica will ever be. You don't have the actual cracks and crevices where food could possibly get caught as well as breed germs when your kitchen counters are done in granite. Which means that your kitchen can be a great deal cleaner as well as safer for your loved ones.
It's no surprise that the best chefs and people who love their kitchen area would rather have a granite top as opposed to a wood or even Formica top. Granite simply lasts so much better as well as keeps things so much more healthy in your kitchen. If you are planning to be redoing your kitchen it may be a good idea to hold off as well as save a little longer to be able to afford to have granite put in instead of just replacing the old Formica with new Formica that will wear out just as rapidly. Think about it, you will like the result, I promise.
