Granite counter tops
Don't mean to start a big war here, but since many of you must have
granite tops, how about some pros and cons of them? Thanks |

I have them, I love them, I have no problem keeping them clean, they are smooth and col to the topuch. You can put hot pans on it and not worry about burning the counter tops. With Corian ( I have had this too and liked it ) You cannot put a hot pan on it. Needless to say, the formica counters, will burn and scratch easily. Fo baking, rolling out crusts, and cookie dough , the granite is wonderful. I use it to knead my bread, and cannot think of a singl;e thing I do not like about it. Rosie |

In Italy granite is the cheaper one, go figure. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

Unfortunately for me, I don't have granite countertops so I can't really say much except that I think they are gorgeous. Seems you have to seal them once in a while, which seems easy to me, so I don't know why people complain. Personally, I dislike the Corian type counters, they remind me of hotel bathrooms (sorry), they just don't have the shine or the soul. You might want to check into the Silestone (?) type of stuff, it might have the qualities that are good in granite with other qualities that make it better than granite. I do not know what those might be. Good luck with your project. I'm envious. nancy |

I chose not to have granite because it has to have special treatment like
sealing. Silstone which is a quartz and hanstone. I chose quartz because it needs no special care. It is beautiful. -- Helen in FERGUS/HARLINGEN http://www.mompeagram.homestead.com/index.html "Nancy Young" > wrote in message . .. > > "Allan Matthews" > wrote > >> On Sun, 13 May 2007 05:26:48 -0400, Goomba38 > >> wrote: >> >>>Allan Matthews wrote: >>>> Don't mean to start a big war here, but since many of you must have >>>> granite tops, how about some pros and cons of them?
