I keep seeing granite countertops listed on real-estate listings, home improvement/remodeling project ads, etc. Why is this particular amenity so popular and considered such a plus? What are the alternatives and why are they inferior (at least, inferior enough not to be explicitly mentioned like granite countertops are)?
In: Engineering
Regarding alternatives, Corian and other engineered tops are my favorite. I had this in a previous house. The reason I love it is, you can have the sink made of the same material, usually a different color, bonded to the counter with a smooth seamless point of connection. There is then, no seam and easily cleaned. The engineered stone also isn’t as noisy as a sink as stainless steel. It does stain, but not easily and that is usually reversed by filling the sink with a bleach/water solution and letting it dit overnight.
