It is a light-coloured, plutonic rock commonly found in mountainous areas and offers a natural surface to go about your daily business in the kitchen.
Granite countertops will end up costing more than other alternatives but there are heaps of benefits to choosing granite in your kitchen. Because of their natural durability sealed granite benchtops are both stain and household chemical resistant meaning an accident in the kitchen won’t cost you!
Granite benchtops are also highly scratch and abrasion resistant so you can do your meal prep right on the main surface. Scratch marks from daily kitchen use can only be seen under high lighting unlike other materials and because granite is a natural material hot plates and pans can be put directly on their surface.
Coming in a range of naturally beautiful stone designs a granite countertop can make you feel like you’ve stepped into the kitchen of your dreams.
Granite is one of the hardest natural stones. It’s composed mainly of quartz and feldspar with minor amounts of mica and other minerals.
The grains of the rock are visible to the naked eye, giving the stone its characteristic texture and patterning.
You’ll find a range of available colours; from creams through to green, browns and blacks. Some have pearl features which produce a “one of a kind” look.
Durability is a big plus with granite benchtops. They are among the best when it comes to heat resistance, and will withstand most staining and scratching.
Still, keep in mind that all surfaces are susceptible to sudden and extreme temperature changes. That can cause cracking, so – as we’ve said previously – it’s always best to avoid placing hot pots and pans directly onto any surface.
