There are numerous advantages to using natural stone such as granite and marble in place of synthetic materials such as Corian, Formica, porcelain, concrete or ceramic tile. Natural stone is durable, long-lasting and color selection is generally far more extensive. Most people consider natural stone more expensive than it actually is. Not only can natural stone be affordable but its resilience proves cost effective over time. On the other hand, synthetic material requires periodic replacement and costly repairs. At The Ciano Company we pride ourselves on the ability to offer quality granite and marble products at affordable prices that are often lower than those of synthetic products. We stock over 100 different granite colors and with such a large inventory it is easy to find exactly what you are looking for.
Consumers often prefer granite and marble simply for the attractiveness of natural stone. Synthetic products usually aim to mimic the color variations found in granite or marble. Using man-made material may achieve a similar outward appearance, but there is a definite difference in quality and ease of use. Granite is considered an ideal choice for kitchen countertops because it can withstand high heat, up to 1200 degrees Fahrenheit, whereas heat pads are necessary for countertops made from synthetic materials due to potential burn marks and fading. Granite countertops are virtually scratch-proof and will not scratch even when directly cut on. Man-made material is susceptible to burning, discoloration, scratching and can deteriorate due to normal wear and tear.
Using granite or marble for your kitchen countertops and other home accents is a great way to increase overall value of your home. Natural Stone Concepts stocks only the best material and will not sacrifice quality at any cost. We use the best machine tools to cut and bullnose our product and the difference is visible. Our mission is to offer the best value for your dollar. If you are looking for quality natural stone that is both elegant and cost efficient, look no further than The Ciano Company.
