The quartz worktops can be made from a wide range of materials. Why do most people use granite worktop? It is wrong to already thing that granite is very expensive. For those constructing or remodeling their kitchens you can always use pure granite or decide to use a mixture of granite and another material. There are several benefits that granite has in that case. All these come from the good features it has that make it good for the functions it performs. There are a few things that need to be learnt when it comes to purchasing granite. At the end you will be in a position to choose the best. 

The fabrication methods of granite include use of hands or use of a machine. The best craftsmen will go for hands rather than machine. On the other hand, large companies that deal with granite use machines to fabricate the granite. Both the methods are good in some way and poor in some way. The machine will have an advantage over the hand in that it will take very little time to fabricate. On the other hand, using hand to fabricate will make the granite finer that when the machines are used. Most of companies resort to wax to make the edges finer. Wax is bound to wear out after some time. From here you are better off to know what kind of granite material you will opt for. 

​

It is important that you know something about seems. Find out the exact process of the company in terms of fabrication. A good number of companies will do fabrication on individual pieces. Others tend to do fabrication after assembling. The choice you make here will have a big impact. Better and finer edges will be made when it is done on single pieces. Fabrication done after  assembling only leads to the production of less finer granite. It is only prudent that the best of the two is the one that is done before the assembling process is done. In this case, the granite will be held in place than when done afterwards.

​

Find out if the company that you are going to make the purchase does its own installation. Most of these warehouse offer services outside installation process. In most cases it depends with what your choice is. Doing the purchase in one shop then seeking installation process from somewhere else is very expensive. Getting all the services from the same company will make it less costly. In most cases you should ensure that you have all the processes done from on point.
