Granite Countertops Deliver Longevity to Your Kitchen

Published by GoodFellas at January 10, 2017

Granite, the same stone that portions of ancient Egyptian pyramids are composed of, is ubiquitous in the kitchen for good reason. This stout stone that weathered millennia can easily stand up to kitchen use and abuse.

What is granite? Granite is a natural stone, composed of at least 20% quartz as well as mica and feldspar. Color choices span the rainbow, from a monochromatic slab to bold patterns. Granite comes in many finished surfaces such as polished, honed, brushed, leather, flamed, and antique.

Advantages: Remarkable durability to withhold 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit and scratch resistant qualities. When properly sealed it can also be stain and water resistant.

Disadvantages: Tricky installation due to heavy stone. And cost can escalate quickly depending on slab chosen.

Sustainability: Granite’s durability means this product can outlast you and even your home. However, mining stone does disrupt local ecosystems and depletes finite, nonrenewable resources. Eco-friendly granite can be had with salvaged slabs.

Maintenance: Simple dish soap and water is easy enough to clean your granite countertops. Rinse efficiently. Seal your countertops yearly with an impregnating water-based sealer made for granite.
