Granite Tile Countertops For The Cost Concerned Consumer
granite tile countertops are made of the same material as granite slab countertops but at about half the price. The reason for the reduction in cost of granite tiles over granite slab is because it is easier and cheaper to manufacture tiles than a huge granite slab. It is also more cost effective to transport.
The granite tiles are very hard, durable and heat resistant just like the granite slab. You can place a hot pot or pan on its surface without having to worry about leaving a burn mark. Granite tiles are a popular choice for the consumer that wants the look of granite but not the cost. Granite tiles are usually sold in 12 inch pieces but can be order up to 24 inch square.
