Helping GTA Clients Chose Granite Slabs for Kitchens and Bathrooms

Why should your clients choose Granite slabs for GTA kitchens and bathrooms?
 
Granite slabs are a perennial favourite for client home renovations across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). With a little help from you, your clients can choose from the hottest trends and colours to build the kitchen or bathroom of their dreams.
 

Using Granite Slabs in the Kitchen

 
Granite has become the go-to natural stone for kitchen countertops. It’s stain-resistant, durable, and extremely hard, making it perfect for daily use in this busy area. Your clients may like the benefits that granite offers, but be wary of making an expensive investment in what has become the standard for kitchen luxury.
 
Fortunately, there are ways for your clients to show their personality and unique style with granite. There’s no reason why they have to feel like they settled for something that isn’t their style just to raise the value of the home. Show your clients how many colours are available for granite. Many people don’t even realize that granite comes in blue, green, red, and many other vibrant colours.
 
If your client loves marble but doesn’t want to deal with its high maintenance in the kitchen, show how granite can mimic marble. There are granite slabs with fine veining or big, bold marble-like patterns that offer the stain-resistant benefits of granite with the beauty of marble.
 
The first step for your clients should be studying the colours already present in their kitchen. This includes everything from the appliances and walls to the fixtures, cabinets and window coverings. They also have to consider how much natural light the kitchen gets. The less light available, the lighter the countertop should be so it’s not overpowering. Granite with light flecks of gold, white, or silver can help lighten a room.
 
Take your clients to the showroom or warehouse so they can pick their own granite slabs. A photo may not convey the finer details or exact colour. Your client should be the one to pick out the slabs to be used for the kitchen countertop.
 

Using Granite Slabs in the Bathroom

 
Granite has been used for bathroom flooring and wall tiles for years, and it’s starting to find new uses in the bathroom.
 
Your client may appreciate the new trend of creating a seat in the shower. It’s perfect for sitting down and relaxing or using as a surface for shower accessories. You can also add extra granite shelving to hold bottles, soap, and other necessities.
 
The home spa trend is sure to appeal to your clients if they have the space. Stand-alone tubs and deep-soaker tubs are extremely popular right now. Your client can complete this refuge by adding granite slabs or tiles.
 
Since granite is one of the best natural stones for conducting heat, it’s perfect for heated floors. Your client can keep those toes toasty on cold mornings in the bathroom or in a basement that is poorly insulated. Granite’s durability, scratch-resistance, crack-resistance, and stain-resistance help it maintain its elegance for years.
 
Sit with your clients and help them wade through their granite options so the choice doesn’t overwhelm them. There are many ways to incorporate granite slabs in Toronto kitchen and bathroom renovations so your clients’ personalities shine through.
