Mountain out of a molehill. The number of consumers who will make their choice between natural granite versus engineered stone based on “radiation” is so negligible as to be ridiculous. Granite countertops raise the resale value of a home no doubt. The fact is that 99.99% of the population could not tell the difference between natural and engineered stone if their lives depended on it. For most people it will come down to a question of price and being able to get the best bang for their buck.
While what you say is true, I have soapstone counter tops and what impresses people is that it’s real but they always ask first.
not every house needs a granite countertop just to jack the price up another 50k. not saying they used 50k matterials but I watch those flipping shows lots of times they put a new coat of paint , granite counter tops , travertine tile bump the price up 150k and then some wonder why a young families keep passing up their homes.
Yadda, yadda, yadda, the stone houses were built from the waste of the local cobalt mine.
And yes, I know there's a difference between a stone house and a couple of stone countertops in a wood house...
But now that I think about it, I wound if the cobalt slag houses had butcher block counter tops?
