For more than a decade, granite countertops have become all the
rage. However, in today’s times, finding a full granite kitchen is pretty much
common. There has been too much application of granite worktops in kitchen
since the time they were first introduced in 1987. Initially available in two colors, there were pretty much expensive and was not considered great material
due to its lack of flexibility.
In less than a decade, they turned
from being luxurious to ubiquitous and became a part of every new condo or
apartment irrespective of the price. But have you ever though what made them so
much popular in the market. There could be several reasons behind this jump.
Granite is found all over the world,
and it is much cost effective to dig it out in India and Brazil. Though there
are various diseases associated with this profession, this business sector is
cheap, especially in the labour aspect.
Contrary to architectural stone
applied on the exterior of buildings, the stone for counters and floors is a
uniform 3/4" thick. By cutting the stone on site the defective slabs can
be separated before they are transported, and can even be treated further into
tiles, so that there is less transport of waste. Once cut into the new shape,
the 3/4 inch thick slab, it can be put into the standard type for shipping, the
shipping container. So what if most of the container is full of air, the cost
of shipping is more than compensated for by the low cost of the material.
Rapidly granite was no longer just available in two colours, but in dozens.
So, if you’re planning to decor up
your kitchen, there is nothing better than choosing granite
worktops for the same.
