Pros and cons of granite countertops
The selection of granite should be done very carefully and thoughtfully since the surface can dramatically change the look, shape and look of the kitchen, bathroom or office space.
While picking the stone, it’s always a good idea to bring to the showroom pictures of cabinets or tile to get the best match result.
Also, consider that these surfaces must endure a large amount of everyday wear and tear. Like other types of countertop materials, there are pros and cons that must be taken into consideration. Granite has become a very popular choice for a wide variety of colors and styles.

GRANITE COUNTERTOP CONS:
It can be pricy; but with access to many more queries all over the world, granite is much less than most people think. It’s porous, but if it’s properly sealed then it’s not an issue. Stone Spirit offers standard 1-year sealer, but very inexpensively, you can add a 15-year sealer and not worry about it for many years.
If any part of the granite cracks, that entire section will need to be replaced, but since it is a very durable stone, it is very unlikely to happen.
