Granite Facts And Information
In the past decades, Granite has been a viable alternative for kitchen countertops. Today, granite countertops are the only solution. Not only do granite countertops add timeless beauty to your home, but granite countertops also increase the value of your home.
With public awareness increasingly turning to the use of natural materials in the home, the granite countertop has become the countertop of choice for today's kitchen designer.
Granite countertops offer many benefits. A major benefit of granite is its mirror-like finish. A hot frying pan that would normally sear solid surface countertops has no effect on granite.
Granite Resists Stains Naturally
Granite countertops are made from igneous rock and contain different minerals that give granite its speckled appearance. The hardness and finish of a granite countertop makes it resistant to stains, scratches, and extreme heat.
With proper care and cleaning, your granite countertops will continue to look beautiful for years.
While granite countertops are strong and durable, you still should take care to quickly clean spills of liquids that have a high level of acidity. Orange juice, soft drinks, and alcoholic beverages are acidic and can cause damage to your countertops if they are not cleaned up immediately.
If you do spill something, use a cloth or paper towel to soak up any major spills and then use a damp rag to take care of any sticky residue.
You should also avoid putting any unnecessary weight on granite countertop edges. Added pressure and weight can cause damage to the edge of your granite countertops, which can take away from the attractiveness of the granite.
