Different Ways to Use Granite in Your Kitchen

Granite has been a popular building material for thousands of years. Today, it’s normally used as an accent material for kitchens and bathrooms. If you’re planning a kitchen remodel, you should try one of these four ways to use granite in your design.

Countertops

The most common way to include granite in your kitchen is as a countertop. Granite is hard to scratch and incredibly resistant to heat; you can set a hot pan right on the counter without cracking or staining the stone.

Granite countertops are extremely popular, so you’ll have no problem finding a style that suits your design. You can also use granite for islands, breakfast nooks, or any other surface in your kitchen.

Backsplashes

A backsplash is the area between your counter and the kitchen cabinets. They can also be found behind sinks or stoves. Backsplashes are used to catch stray grease, water, sauce, or anything else that might splash while you’re cooking. They’re usually made from durable materials that are easy to clean.

Granite is a stunning backsplash choice that makes an immediate visual impact. You can use the same color of granite as your countertops, or you can pick a slightly different material to create visual distinction.

Sinks

Granite composite sinks aren’t made from pure granite. Instead, they’re made by blending granite stone dust with acrylics and other materials. The result is an extremely durable and heat-resistant sink that matches the rest of your kitchen.

Unlike countertops, granite composite sinks don’t need to be sealed or treated. They maintain the same properties as regular granite, so you don’t need to worry about scratching or cracking. If you’re looking for a unique sink option, granite composite sinks are a great choice.

Tiles

Granite comes in a variety of beautiful colors and patterns, so it shouldn’t be a surprise that this natural stone is a popular choice for kitchen tiles. Many contemporary kitchen designs feature granite tiles on the floor or granite tile mosaics on the kitchen walls. Granite tiles are durable, resilient, and easy to clean. Try choosing a subtle or muted shade that complements the rest of your kitchen design. From your floors to your counters, you can use granite on nearly any surface in your kitchen.

Natural stone is easy to maintain and lasts forever. Wherever you install granite, you’re sure to love the impact it has on your home. Contact CCT Natural Stone Designs to help with your countertop project today.
