Granite counter top may look a little frightening to install. But no matter how daunting the task is, you can be sure, that it is possible to do it. Installing it is very much like installing ceramic tiles, and requires same types of materials, instruments, and methods. The main difference is that it cannot be cut the way ceramic tiles are scored, its hardness requires for a more sophisticated and strong tool which will beat it at its own hardness: the diamond tile saw.

Granite limestone has been considered the most beautiful stone found on earth. It is a natural rock mostly found in hilly areas or where volcanic erosions have taken place. It is one of the most durable stone and very hard just like a diamond except that diamond is used for cutting whereas granite is used for decorations.

It may seem a little nerve-racking to install granite counter tops. Even if the task is very daunting, there is no doubt that it is possible to do it. Its installation is similar to ceramic tiles, involving similar instruments, material and methods; however it can never be cut the way ceramic tiles are scored. More sophisticated and strong tools are needed, due to the stones rigidity, so that they can work on its hardness, like the diamond tile saw.
