Granite Countertops Outshine Quartz & Solid Surface Granite Countertops Are Better Value Than Quartz Countertops Or Solid Surface Countertops If you are thinking about countertops for your home, granite tops the list for beauty and value. Today there are more choices for kitchen countertop materials than ever before, but granite is still the most popular countertop material, and the one all other types of countertop materials try to emulate.  Granite countertops are one of the best investments you can make in your home. The beauty of granite countertops is unsurpassed by any of the manufactured stones used for kitchen countertops and one of the smartest upgrades you can add to your home. Granite’s rich colors, unique patterns and strength make it an ideal choice for kitchen countertops, and it holds it's value better than countertops.  Zodiaq Quratz, Silestone Quartz or solid surface materials do not have the beauty of granite and do not add as much value to your home when you upgrade your kitchen countertops. Granite is extremely low maintenance, and modern manufacturing techniques takes the worry out of sealing the natural stone countertop. Dupont Granite is now available with a 10-year warranty against any normal wear and tear. Granite Countertops Unlimited (GCU), one of leading countertop fabrication companies in the Atlanta and North Georgia areas, offers all types of countertops including Zodiaq, SileStone, Cambria and IceStone countertops. With so many choices available, you would not think that granite would make up more than half of all the countertop projects, it is true that granite countertops make up about 68% of all the jobs completed by GCU. Man made countertop materials just can not complete in beauty in a side by side comparison of countertops. The luster and unique patterns in real granite countertops just can not be duplicated. Quartz or other synthetic materials like IceStone are great for countertops because they are pretty and durable, but they just can not complete in the beauty department. Granite Countertop shoppers are women for the most part, and women want the best looking homes possible. They want the gorgeous colors, the mirror finish the shines like glass, and sadly, the other products just can not compete in that department.
