Why The Granite Countertops Alabama Remodeling Firms Recommend Cost So Much

By Jana Serrano


There are many rooms, such as bathrooms, kitchens and assembly areas that need a clean, sanitary counter top. One of the best looking surfaces is still a granite counter top. They are installed all over the world and many of them are right here, in the United States. If you are looking for one to improve the look of your home, contact those companies who provide the granite countertops Alabama homeowners depend on.

The source of this material is in the ground, in stone outcroppings in many parts of the world. The process for turning these 40,000 pounds, or larger, chunks of stone into a small enough piece for your bathroom or kitchen is a long one. It involves Geologists, explosive technicians, heavy equipment operators and all of their gear. That is just to get it out of the ground.

The equipment that makes it even smaller is located, usually right there on site. The process that must be undergone to get it from the raw material to installation in your home can take many months, including the shipping. The representative of the various stone retailers will take a good portion of this time in the selection of colors.

All of the pieces they have in fairly small sections will be hauled away and placed on ships for transporting to the granite shops. These shops will sell them to homeowners, or usually, remodeling companies or other specialty retailers. These shops will display various pieces they have and present them in the best light possible for your selection.

The pieces, displayed in the stone masons shop, will be presented for you to get a great look at it. The many variables, color being one, will help you decide about which piece you want to have as your very own. This overall color can be in the whites. It can also extend through greens, beige, browns and black. Gold and or silver tones could be dispersed throughout the piece. This pattern may or may not work with the grain pattern that also must be considered. That grain may be open or tight. It could be coarse or fine. There are many variations and all of them give something.

These granite tops are beautiful and can be cleaned easily. They are fragile, as well, and can be marred by many chemicals. They can be chipped and broken because of the relative thickness to its weight. They must be installed on a substructure that can hold that weight and installed in such a way as to protect the corners.

One of the reasons this material is so good for this industrial use is because of the very fine grain that can be selected. These pieces are valuable to many companies and part of it is that they are so easy to clean. This cleanliness also helps in the critical measurements they use this surface for.

In your kitchen or bathroom, these counter tops will add beauty, enhance the sanitation of the room and inspire admiration from visitors. They are a good, solid surface for food preparation and excellent as a resting place for cosmetics and medications. They are also perfect to display your hand picked flowers in a nice vase.
