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.
