What is Granite?

Granite is an igneous rock composed primarily of quartz, feldspar, and mica, which gives it a distinctive appearance with a wide range of colors and patterns.

Why Granite?

Granite countertops are a popular choice for kitchen and bathroom surfaces due to their natural beauty, durability, and unique patterns. These countertops are formed from slabs of stone that are cut, polished, and sealed to create a smooth, hard surface that is resistant to scratches, heat, and stains.

How to care for Granite?

To care for granite countertops, regular maintenance is essential. Clean the surface daily with a mild soap or a granite-specific cleaner and a soft cloth to prevent buildup of grime and bacteria. Avoid using harsh chemicals, acidic cleaners, or abrasive pads, as these can damage the sealant and dull the stone. It's also important to wipe up spills promptly, especially those from acidic substances like citrus juice, vinegar, or wine, to prevent potential staining. Additionally, resealing the granite periodically—typically once a year—helps maintain its resistance to stains and preserves its luster. With proper care, granite countertops can remain a stunning and functional feature in any home for many years.
