Despite the sputtering economy, consumer spending on home renovation remains healthy. Across the nation, homeowners are investing in home remodeling projects- especially kitchen makeovers- either to make their homes more appealing to buys or more comfortable and enjoyable while they ride out the housing slump. And one of the most popular home improvements is, once again, granite countertops.
A recent study of 10,000 consumers, conducted by the Research Institute for Cooking and Kitchen Intelligence, found that kitchen renovations remain at the top of the list for consumers seeking to add value to their homes. When the study asked homeowners, “If you were changing your kitchen now and had no budget constraints, what improvement would you make?” granite countertops were among the kitchen features they coveted most.
Many consumers are tightening their belts but remain eager for granite countertops, according to Garis Distelhorst, executive vice president of the Marble Institute Of America, the nations leading natural stone association. “Historically, consumers recognize that granite countertops enhance the value of a home in ways few other improvements can,” said Distelhorst. “No other countertop surfaces can measure up to granite in terms of practicality, timeless beauty, durability and safety. This natural stone has held its value in ways more trendy materials have not.
Consumers continue to invest confidently in kitchen makeovers because the projects typically increase the resale value of their homes. In the last five years, kitchen remodeling projects have generally returned 80 to 85 percent of consumers’ investments, according to the “Cost vs Value Report” from Remodeling magazine.
Because kitchen renovations increase resale values, experts agree that if consumers can only afford to renovate one room in their homes, it should be the kitchen. In fact, an all-new kitchen “that looks great and is fun to work in” was the top priority of 2,200 home enthusiasts surveyed recently by Better Homes and Gardens magazine.
“What we’ve discovered is that the home continues to be our emotional center and sweet spot of everyday life.” said Gayle Butler, Better Home’s editor in chief. “Economic uncertainty aside we wont stop spending, improving, and dreaming.”
At Granite Surfaces, the cost of granite countertops is based on many different variables other than just the square footage of your beautiful granite slab. Although the square footage should be taken in consideration, so are the lay out options, complexity of shapes, granite color selection, quality grade of the granite stone itself and customer requirements just to get you started. On the more mechanical side, edge detail, seam location, quantity and type of cut-outs, rod reinforcement, how many holes are drilled, geographical location of the project and stone thickness also all come into play when putting a price to your project.
It is typical for marble and granite suppliers to offer stone slabs in both 2 and 3cm thickness, but not in all colors. When a granite color is available in a 2cm slab, it is usually lesser expensive than 3cm slabs. Keep in mind that the 3cm thickness usually offers better structural strength and is also a standard for most stone fabricators and suppliers.
Caring For Your Granite
A leading consumer magazine recently compared granite with engineered stone, ceramic tile, laminate butcher block, and other manufactured surfaces. Granite received the highest overall performance rating as a kitchen countertop material due to its exceptional strength.
The longevity and durability of granite are what make it ideal for the most heavily used surfaces, such as kitchen countertops and flooring. While some synthetic surfaces scratch easily and melt under hot cookware, granite resists heat and is one of the most bacteria-resistant surfaces. It is nearly impossible to scratch, and will not stain under normal use. Granite is not affected by coffee, citric acids, tea, or wine. When caring for your natural stone, warm water, mild dishwashing soap, and a soft clean cloth are generally all that’s needed. Never use abrasive cleaners on polished stone surfaces. Always protect your natural stone countertops by blotting up stains immediately and using coasters and placemats. Here at Granite Surfaces we offer topical cleaners and sealants to enhance the durability of your granite.
Granite remnants can offer the biggest bang for your buck. Over the last few years, granite remnants have become one of the most popular options for your small granite projects in your home, such as a bathroom vanity top or shower shelves.
When Granite Surfaces cuts a granite slab into a kitchen counter top, the left over pieces are considered granite remnants. They are smaller sized pieces that aren’t large enough to be used for the average kitchen surfaces.
Here at Granite Surfaces, discounted granite remnants are available in base level, standard, and exotic cuts of granite. Exotic stones offer some of the most stunning patterns. Remember, although exotic granites are popular they are more expensive. So to find an exotic stone as a remnant is a real treasure!
Cost Differences Between Granite Colors
When shopping for granite, expect a difference in price while considering a selection between the most common granite colors and more popular, exotic slabs. Some granite colors offer a wide range of veining and movement. We refer to these types of stones as exotic granites. Although all granite colors offer some variation and movement, most base grade level selections offer a consistent range of color and have considerably less movement than exotic granites. These type of selections will most likely add additional cost to your project.
It is common for granite sellers to have colors separated into price categories or groups. It is typical for granite pricing to start at lower, base grade granites, to an incline in price due to exotic, more popular granite slabs. At Granite Surfaces, granite colors are grouped based on several criteria including price, popularity, current fashion trends, availability and production requirements.
