Your bathroom can be subject to a lot of wear and tear, especially the countertops. They have to be sturdy enough to withstand water, heat, other stressors without breaking down, and you want them to look appealing and match the aesthetic of your home. Granicrete is a unique, lightweight concrete overlay that provides a seamless look in any room. If you need to remodel your bathroom, consider installing maintenance-free granicrete countertops. 

4 Benefits of Granicrete Countertops in the Bathroom

1. Resistant to Scratches & Stains

If you have kids, you know that the bathroom can quickly turn into a playroom. As they play, your countertops can sustain some severe damage. Most countertops are prone to stains, scratches, and other defects that are often difficult and expensive to repair. Granicrete is non-porous, so it’s highly resistant to staining, and the material is incredibly durable as to avoid cracks, chips, and other cosmetic issues.

2. Maintenance Free

If your countertops are made of a porous material, they are going to require significant maintenance. Porous countertops are sealed, but the seal can wear away over time and require regular replacement or repair. When countertops begin to show visible signs of wear, you have to choose between performing costly routine maintenance. Granicrete doesn’t require sealing, so it is a great low-maintenance option for people who don’t have the time or money for upkeep.

3. Resistant to Heat

If you use hair styling tools like a curling iron or hairdryer,  they can easily leave burns on counters or other surfaces. Most materials are subject to warping, melting, or burning at relatively low temperatures. Fortunately, granicrete is resistant to heat up to 500°F, which is higher than the temperature of most hair styling tools. However, if damage does occur, the countertops can be easily repaired or replaced due to the ease of mixing and installing the material.

4. Relatively Low Cost

If you are looking for a sophisticated look in your bathroom, you might opt for marble or other expensive materials. However, these countertop options are costly to purchase and install. Granicrete can be customized to look like marble and many other high-end materials at a fraction of the cost. This gives you flexibility in your design budget, and you won’t have to sacrifice aesthetic appeal due to cost.
