What do you think of this?

Granite Countertops A Health Threat?

yes granite emits radiation and radon but those of granite counter tops are of extremely low levels. Radiation and radon are known to cause cancer. We can never tell

Not that threatening to me. Really.

Choosing a stainless steel sink may be the best option if price matters most. However, the recent advancements in the granite sink industry may make it a better choice in terms of features and durability.

Stainless steel is a somewhat durable metal, which is why it was chosen to be used in this application. Keep in mind that while it is scratch resistant, it is not scratch proof. Most of these sinks will have a brushed finish, which will help to hide the small scratches that will occur over the lifetime of the sink.

Granite composite sinks are the result of recent technological advances in the sink industry. These sinks are composed of granite or quartz composite and acrylic. They are incredibly scratch, heat and stain resistant; more so than stainless steel sinks. These sinks are available in different colors; the most popular being black, brown and white. They are more expensive than stainless steel sinks, but also offer more benefits. Granite sinks can be manufactured out of environmentally friendly materials, which make it a great choice for green homes.

good am to all

sensya na po pero magtatanong lang. mag-iinstall kasi kami ng yakiniku grill sa countertop. granite slab sana gusto naming gamitin para pareho ng sa kitchen.

meron bang ibang size ang granite slab like 4ft x 8ft? or kailangan gumamit na lang ng dalawang .60 cm para mas malapad?

tia and God bless

may makukuhang ganyang sukat!

pero di laging available. depende sa kulay, actually.

try mo tumawag dito sa store na to sa balintawak- st mark construction supply, 415-0597(?). nagcanvas ako last year, and sila nakita kong pinakamura and may stock/warehouse talaga.

sayang countertop mo kung may dugtong. every time makikita mo mabibiwisit ka lang sa itsura. hahaha!

hanap ka ng slab sizes. meron yan!

Not that threatening to me. Really.

They should have banned it in other countries if it was harmful. I say it's just another mudslinging effort fabricated by those who produce synthetic countertop materials.

baka naman magmukhang jollibee or mcdo pag stainless

Magaling kung magmukhang fastfood joint lang kitchen mo. I have a friend who doesn't like stainless steel countertops because it reminds him of those mortuary tables where they do autopsies, ha-ha.

But for me, it would have to be stainless steel.

And so is stainless steel. Most plastics and synthetic materials can only be recycled a few times. Metals can be repeatedly be melted down, re-worked, re-alloyed, etc -almost infinitely. Now that's green!
