Our Kitchen countertops got installed this morning. We chose 1 1/4" thick Black Impala granite with a pencil edge. The granite was cut and installed by Renaissance Stone in Wallingford, CT. They did a good job for the most part, but we weren't as pleased with the installers. They showed up late both times (template and install), which was frustrating because R had to take time off from work to wait for them. But the important thing is that the countertops are in, and look amazing! I love the color of the Black Impala... it's a compromise. I wanted gray, R wanted black. Black Impala is a mid-dark gray with a slight bluish tint. The stone has a great variation to it (not a solid color, but not crazy busy).
So here's the teaser pic.. More to come in a formal countertop blog entry, and I promise they won't be cell phone quality :)
Granite has many properties that make it an ideal material for kitchen and bathroom countertops. Understanding these characteristics can help you decide whether granite counters are the right fit for your home and help you to care for them properly if you choose granite.
