Prefabricated Granite Countertops – Good for Bathrooms Too!

Who Else Wants To Use Prefabricated Granite Countertops for Your Home?

When I bought my apartment, I didn't like the looks of the rooms inside it, especially the bathroom. It looked like a disaster. Although I liked the pink and green theme, the ceramic tiles were in bad condition. So bad that there were pieces which fell on the floor, as well as cracks and chips. Maybe this was why I got the place for a low price. The old owner didn't maintain the place well.

Thanks to the discounted price I got for my flat, I was able to add the cash I saved to my renovation fund. After picking granite tiles for my kitchen, the contractor I was working with suggested that I should use these for my bathroom instead of any other material. Despite the fact that these were prices slightly higher than other materials, it was a long term investment. Now, when you look at my kitchen and bathroom, you'll see that I used prefabricated granite countertops. It's functional, attractive and who could forget, cheaper!

Some Reasons Why Granite Tiles Are Useful

Just in case you're not familiar with using granite, here are the reasons why they're so useful for rooms that are frequently used like bathrooms and kitchens.

• Granite is the strongest stone, next to diamonds, in the world. These can withstand heavy weight and high temperatures.
• There is a sealant that protects the surface of granite. Meaning, when you spill something on the surface, this will not get damaged like wood or ceramic. In fact, the granite will absorb the liquid.
• You don't need any cleaning materials for these countertops. You can use a regular cloth and water.
• Using granite tiles, instead of slabs, will help you save tons of money. Because of their practical qualities, slabs can be very expensive. Thanks to processed tiles, even homeowners can have something close to the real thing.

Using black granite countertops in my bathroom is actually one of the best decisions I've ever made. Not only does my bathroom look like a room fit for a queen, but I don't need to exert too much effort and money maintaining it. Granite tiles are definitely one of the best household inventions since indoor plumbing!
