Are you looking for a way to add value to your home? Are you thinking extensive landscaping or perhaps a garage add-on? What if I told you there was an easy way to add value to your home that required little tearing out and minimal mess? Kitchens and bathrooms are an area in your home where a little investment can add up to a lot of value. One of the easiest items to update is your old, worn-out laminate worktops. There are so many options out there from tile and concrete to marble or granite. Making a choice will be much easier when you read about all the wonderful options that granite worktops have to offer. Worktops replaced with a quality item such as granite will give your bathroom and kitchen a fresh updated look. Read below for more information about granite and why it is such a great choice when choosing both kitchen and bathroom worktops.

Bespoke granite worktops are countertops that are completely custom-made to the buyer’s specifications. Yes, that is correct! You, as the buyer, can purchase granite worktops to fit on top of any lower cabinets you already have in your home. You can have your granite worktops made in different thicknesses from 2 -3 cm’s. Your granite worktop can also be made with different edges cut into it from plain to fancy. Granite is such a great option for a variety of reasons:
* Bespoke granite tops look amazing. They are substantial and luxurious in your home. Granite adds warmth and class wherever it is installed.

* Granite comes in almost 3,000 different styles/colours. With such a large selection, there is granite out there that will fit in perfectly with your home decor. Colours even range within a single slab, from electric blue to deep gray.
* Granite worktops are affordable: There are so many options at different price ranges. Prices also depend upon the thickness of the granite cut and the way the edges are finished. A thinner cut (2 cm) with a plain edge will run you a lot less than a thicker cut (3 cm) with a bevel cut edge.
* Granite work surfaces are durable and not easily scratched. The only thing that is harder than granite would be diamond.
* Granite work tops will last a lifetime with proper care. Proper care of granite includes wiping up spills as they occur and using only a mild cleanser and water on them. Sealing them also makes for good maintenance.
* Granite, unlike laminate, does not melt or acquire burn marks on them from hot pans being set directly on the surface.
* Granite does not harbour bacteria. The Marble Institute of America’s website states that ‘after washing and rinsing, the granite tops provided the greatest reduction in bacteria counts of all the countertop materials tested’.
* Granite worktops in the kitchen make an efficient work surface for rolling out cookies and kneading bread dough.
Custom granite worktops will continue to look beautiful for years to come. Granite’s unmatched durability, affordability and array of choices make installing granite worktops in your home an easy decision to make. The beauty and value they add to your home will be noticed by all who see them. Granite slabs are large (averaging about 2800mm by 1650mm), enabling the stonemasons to make even a large island or worktop without unsightly seams that come with a lesser product such as laminate. Now comes the hard part, deciding which granite to put into your home! Good Luck!
