For a few years granite countertops seem to have disappeared from the real estate listings as selling feature of the property. The clients seem to ask more for quartz. But did granite really lose its momentum as interior decor material?

Some surveys do show a slight drop in interest in granite countertops. But if we look deeper between the lines we will see why: it is simply certain colors and patterns that fell out of favor!

A big part of it was also that it fell victim to its own glory. Do you remember those signs along the road:”Granite countertops for $35 per square foot”. It simply confirmed the fact that granite was extremely popular. But in order for it to become more affordable, lower end varieties were brought in. Colors lacking personality, busy boring patterns – these details simply stuck in our minds.

With more open and light airy look in interior design, granite has just changed its game!

It has some amazing advantages for kitchen countertops, that still can not be matched by other materials:

• Beautiful one of a kind non – repeating pattern
• Wide slabs allowing for extra wide countertops
• The least porous structure out of all natural materials
• Not fading in the sun
• Beautiful vivid natural color combinations

Granite is definitely here to stay. As lower end looks are phased out, it opens the door to a new and more exciting higher end varieties that will become a true decoration of your home. As home decor market gets more sophisticated, new varieties and colorways of granite are making is appearance. And we always look forward to discovering more and make them available here, in Toronto.
