Granite Cost More Than the Gulf War?

Seems like we all want the nice luxurious kitchen. Granite is definitely a part of that luxurious look today. But are Americans going too far with granite? According to findings from Forbes personal finance writer Stephane Fitch, he estimated that since 1990 the cost for this popular material is at $12 billion which is more than what the U.S. spent on the first Gulf war. Now, that's a lot of granite!! So why are we choosing granite over other materials? Well, first of all it looks fantastic! Also, granite simply performs better than other materials. They can last forever. Durability and style seems to be the strong selling points for this luxurious material and Americans want that on their kitchen counters. Quartz is another material that is gaining strength when it comes to kitchen counters. Although it's not beaten granite just yet, there are other options such as recycled stone or even concrete to consider when remodeling your kitchen. If you're not remodeling your kitchen but actually moving into your new house which already has a beautiful renovated kitchen than you're lucky!
