Atlanta Granite Company Craftmark Explains the Difference Between Granite Slabs and Tile

NORCROSS, GA, November 01, 2012 (Press-News.org) Craftmark Solid Surfaces, an Atlanta granite countertops supplier, explains to homeowners and businesses the difference between granite slabs and granite tiles.

Granite is fast becoming the leading choice for kitchen and outdoor living areas, and the specialists at Craftmark understand how important it is for homeowners to choose the right material for their living areas. Granite slabs and tiles are both durable and attractive, but this is where the differences end.

"It's easy for homeowners to get confused when deciding between granite slabs or tiles," states Melinda Pulliam, Director of Marketing, Craftmark Solid Surfaces, an Atlanta granite countertops supplier. "The size and scope of the project really dictates whether slab or tile is better. Generally speaking, a full slab is easier to care, easier to treat, and has a different look in a room than tile does."

Granite slabs offer homeowners an easier installation process as well. The staff at Craftmark understands that the look of a slab granite countertop has a more pronounced look. Tiles require grout lines, which can sully over time, but granite slabs have a noticeable absence of grout lines, which can give a clean look to your kitchen.

Granite slabs are lower maintenance than their tile cousins. The absence grout lines give granite slabs a slight cleaning edge over tiles. Often grout can sully, darken or faded over time, requiring tile countertops to be resealed, but this is not an issue with the grout-free granite slabs.

No matter the design, the specialists at Craftmark can find a granite countertop style to suit your home and your budget. With over 10 years in the granite countertops industry, Craftmark team is ready to assist you with your granite countertops needs.
