Different Ways of
Using Granite Slabs into GTA Homes
Granite is a popular choice in homes because of its remarkable
appearance, superior quality and undemanding care and maintenance. If you want
to add granite natural stone in your home, the first step is to decide on the
dominant colour you prefer, and then choose the actual granite slabs in Toronto
that will be used. Regardless of how you choose to use granite in your home,
its decorative touch will not go unnoticed. There are several innovative ways
to incorporate granite into your home.
Granite Kitchen
Countertops: Granite countertops are very popular for many
reasons. Granite has a one of a kind, natural surface that has an almost
luminous look. Granite countertops will add beauty and a personal touch of
sophistication to your home. Granite is a very hard substance, so it resists
chipping, cracking or breaking, which makes it an ideal material for
countertops. Granite resists heat and is sanitary. The colour variety is
stunning. As a bonus, granite countertops improve the value of your home.
Granite Backsplash:A granite backsplash is a perfect complement to your kitchen. A granite
backsplash will not only protect your walls from spills and splashes, but it also
offers function and beauty that will bring an extra dimension of light and
texture to your home. A granite backsplash will eliminate seams if you prefer a
pristine look.
Granite Bathroom Vanity:Besides the beauty granite can add to the bathroom, the vanity can greatly
benefit from granite’s resistance to water and mold and it will be easy to
clean. Placing a hair appliance on the vanity that is still warm will not be a
problem.
Granite Bathroom Sink:A granite bathroom sink is an ideal way to make a statement. It will provide
beauty, durability and a unique design that will act as a functional bathroom
fixture.
Granite Tabletops:Add a custom made granite tabletop in your formal dining room for an elegant
touch, or add granite as a tabletop to your busy kitchen table where its
durability and practicality will hold up in any kitchen. With a vast array of colours available, you
will not have a problem finding granite slabs that complement your décor, while
the colours and patterns will dress up any living room and kitchen.
Granite Fireplace
Mantle: Granite will take an ordinary fireplace and turn it into
a focal point in the room. Since granite is naturally heat and fire resistant,
it is a practical and beautiful choice for your fireplace mantle. Granite will
complement the warmth that your fireplace provides.
Granite is mined from the earth in big blocks and then
sliced into slabs. Veins and patterns of the stone will usually be consistent
throughout the block. When choosing
granite slabs in the GTA, it is always a good idea to view and approve the
actual slabs prior to fabrication. Because of the movement and veining in
natural stone, it is difficult to get an accurate representation with a small
sample. Viewing the slab will help prevent any surprises or disappointments
once the granite is installed. Granite slabs can be viewed at a stone
distributor in the GTA.
