Would you love to have granite lining your kitchen countertops but find it difficult to make the room in your budget? You're not alone but you're also not without a solution. There's another way to install granite, and if you have the know-how, or a desire to learn, it can be a do-it-yourself project as well. What is it? Modular granite tile. So what is the difference between granite tile and the traditional slab, and why should you look into it? Find out below.

What is Granite Tile?
You've no doubt seen granite slab - the smooth, one-piece countertops that dress up many kitchens. And you may really want it dressing up your kitchen. But what if you just don’t have the budget and don’t foresee having it in the near future? You may have heard about granite tile and even seen it in different buildings used as flooring. But what you may not know is that granite tile is also available for use on countertops. It mixes how easy tile is to install with the luster of granite.

Why Choose Granite Tile?
So why should you choose granite tile over other less expensive options for your kitchen countertops? Well, if you want granite but simply can’t afford traditional one-piece countertops, this is an attractive alternative. Some other reasons to consider granite tile:

Budget friendly. Granite tiles are a much less expensive option than granite slab. If you've hesitated to spend the money on granite slab or simply can't afford to, the modular flexibility of granite tile may be just what you're looking for.

Save on labor. If you know how to install tile, or know someone who does, you can save on the cost of labor by installing the granite tiles yourself. This is never an option with granite slab. You always need a professional to fabricate and install it because of its toughness and weight. Granite tiles are created for easy handling and installing.

Ready to install. Granite tiles come ready to install unlike slabs of granite that require professional fabrication. You also avoid the hassle of pre-installation measuring and custom-fitting.

Same beautiful granite look. Granite tiles come with the same incredible luster as granite slab. They fit tightly together to create a seamless look, and include the traditional bullnose edging of granite countertops. And they work great as a backsplash as well.

So if you'd like to enhance your kitchen with the time-tested durability and beauty of natural granite, consider granite tile as an alternative to slab. You'll discover it's

· Budget-friendly
· Saves you on the cost of labor
· Installs easily
· Looks just as beautiful as traditional granite slab

If your renovation budget doesn't have room for granite slab, granite tile may be the answer to your design needs. It may be just the way to have granite in your home without having to invest as much. So instead of wishing you could have granite, you can have it. Improve the quality, value, and look of your kitchen with granite tile.
