One of the most rewarding home improvement projects is a simple bathroom upgrade to add a granite vanity top. I was searching home improvement blogs for information on bathroom upgrades, read your blog and would like to share the following information about granite counter tops:

Granite counter tops are very affordable for both kitchens and bathrooms and can really make you happy. Today, homeowners can go to any Lowe’s Home Improvement Store nationwide, order granite vanity tops for their bathrooms in a wide assortment of popular granite colors custom made by Jackson Stoneworks and they will be delivered in 14-21 days. There are no minimum size requirements at Lowe’s on 22 granite colors. Many, many other Exotic granite and marble colors are available direct from the manufacturer (www.jacksonstoneworks.com).

Become a Facebook Fan of Jackson Stoneworks, see photos of granite vanity tops from all of our Friends and learn how you can win a free granite vanity top.

Granite Ranked 1st in Cleanability.
In a recent study performed by Dr. O. Peter Snyder of the Hospitality Institute of Technology and Management (www.hi-tm.com) E. coli bacteria was used as a contaminating agent and Granite ranked 1st in Cleanability. The findings of the report show significant cleanability advantages of natural granite countertops over almost all other commonly found countertop surface materials. The study included 6 countertop surfaces which were washed and rinsed after exposure to the bacteria. They were later cleaned with a 10% solution of white household vinegar (1 part 5% vinegar, 9 parts water). Bacteria counts were taken after both cleaning methods. After washing and rinsing, the granite tops provided the greatest reduction in bacteria counts of all the countertop materials tested:
• Granite: 36,000 to 1
• Stainless Steel: 4,000 to 1
• Concrete: 2,400 to 1
• Tile: 900 to 1
• Wood: 500 to 1
• Plastic Laminate: 285 to 1

Granite counter tops can provide a lifetime of beauty and pleasure when properly cared for. Learn about stone care recommendations by DuPont at their website www2.dupont.com/Stone_Tech_Professional. Stonetech Professional Bullet-proof sealer is recommended with all Jackson Stoneworks granite vanity tops to provide up to five years or more of protection from most stains and can be easily applied in minutes. Learn more about Jackson Stoneworks Granite Counter tops at www.jacksonstoneworks.com.

Recent media attention has focused on granite countertops and whether they can increase your indoor radon levels. While testing your home is always a good idea, a few clarifications are in order. The information provided by Air Chek, Inc. at www.Radon.com is recommended reading for anyone concerned about granite and radon. Granite is recommended by Jackson Stoneworks as the best counter top material available at Lowes.

We often recommend granite for a kitchen counter top for reasons of design, durability and relatively easy care.

However, I always wanted to use granite in another way. Some granite patterns are spectacular, more like abstract pictures. These could be used as room dividers or pictures on walls.
