Kitchen Countertops: Slab or Tile?

Have you already thought about which to choose between slab and tile for the kitchen countertops that you’re updating very soon? Natural stones are great picks for those who are renovating their homes because of the variety of patterns, shades and durability that they provide. Looking at slab collection, you know that they are quarried before shipping to various manufacturers with blocks that are cut carefully into level sheets. After completing the carving and treating process, they are then shipped for home or business installation. When it comes to the polishes, they’re quite the same but because tiles are lighter, they can be installed as they are for floors while slab needs extra support since they are very heavy. Designer slab does not look the same as tile and it’s suited for kitchen tiles that have contemporary and modern theme.  Most typical types of slabs are Slate slabs, Limestone slabs, Granite slabs, Marble slabs, and sandstone slabs. Each having their own unique properties and should be researched prior to making a final decision.
