Granite worktops.

Anyone ever got them and if so what do you think of them?

    I have. They cost a fortune but are well worth it. They will always look like new, with no care needed and look stunning.
    Very pleased with them.

    We indulged in them too. They're beautiful and incredibly hard wearing. There are few things in the home that stay perfect but granite is one of them.

    I have a beautiful granite worktop in the kitchen of my new house. It is gorgeous and so easy to look after.

    Only problem with a granite worktop is breaking things on it :(

    For looks though they are hard to beat!

    Cheers, Des.
  • Have part granite, part ceramic tile - the tile is very good but discolours (including the epoxy grout), requiring bleaching from time to time. Granite - lovely - absolutely no prob's. if you can't afford the whole hog, get at least part in granite - you won't regret it.
  • I have had granite worktops for over 3 years now and they look as good now as the day I bought them. I got mine from a company in Tandragee called Taranto de Pol - taranto.co.uk. Great job.

    I am just about to order from this guy on ebay:

    Very reasonable prices compared to any other companies I have tried.

    We have granite worktops and I love them, when we got the quotation for the kitchen it was a couple of grand less than I expected so I talked my DH into parting with the rest of the budget on the worktops. They always look great and so far we haven't had too many crockery breakages, we also have a ceramic tile floor.
