Quality Home Countertop Materials
Have you ever noticed that some countertops are less expensive than others? It can be hard to know which grade is best for your home. The grades can be confusing, so it’s likely ideal for you to consult a professional with extensive knowledge about these grades. Here we’ll discuss the different granite grades for your home countertops.
Low Grade
Low grade is commonly used for bathroom countertops and flooring. It’s durable, easy to maintain, and will last a very long time. This type of material has a natural gray color that makes it look like stone rather than concrete or tile. Low grade usually has more fine grains than other grades of stone materials. It’s perfect for high-traffic areas such as kitchen islands or flooring in your kitchen since its surface won’t get damaged easily from heavy use.
Mid Grade
Mid-grade has a darker color and more variation in grain size than low-grade stones. They are slightly less hard than their counterparts but still offer outstanding durability under moderate conditions such as cooking with hot pans on top of them. Also, they’re easier to find because they tend not to sell as well since they’re less expensive than other stone-grade options.
High Grade
High grade is the highest quality grade for stone materials. It’s very hard and scratch resistant but not very durable under high heat or moisture. It also has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of all types of grades. which makes it ideal for countertops that need extra durability against scratches or bumps from furniture legs or tools like knives or filet knives on cutting boards.
