Pros & Cons of Dark Granite Counters

Pros & Cons of Dark Granite Counters

Pros:

Adds a Sophisticated Touch

 

Anyone who has invested in dark granite countertops, particularly black granite, will tell you that the main advantage of dark granite countertops is that they create a stunning presence in their kitchen or bathroom. Dark granite's lack of brightness adds depth to any space, creating a distinct ambiance that can transform any kitchen or bathroom from drab to sophisticated.

 

Improves the Look of Other Colours in the Room

 

Another advantage of using dark granite countertops in your kitchen or bathroom is that the dark colour complements or enhances other colours in the room. For example, black granite set against stark white cabinets and stainless steel appliances creates an eye-catching design that is sure to please both homeowners and visitors.

 

Provides a Reliable and Durable Surface

Many homeowners prefer dark granite countertops because they provide a long-lasting and dependable surface for cooking, entertaining, and other activities.

 

Cons:

Price

Dark granite countertops can be expensive, depending on where you buy them. They can, however, be purchased from a wholesaler for a fraction of the full retail price. For the cost of materials and installation, wholesalers regularly charge less than other retailers.

Another minor disadvantage of dark granite is that it is vulnerable to marks such as fingerprints and water rings. These small marks, however, are easily removed with a good natural-stone cleaner.
