Granite is a natural stone product made from igneous rock formed from volcanoes. Extremely durable and versatile, granite is one of the hardest natural materials on earth. Although it is extremely durable, it isn’t indestructible. Granite is heat-resistant and scratch-resistant, but because it is porous, it requires occasional sealing to protect against staining.

With proper sealing, granite surfaces are easy to clean and maintain, providing a long-lasting and beautiful addition to your home.
Each granite slab is unique, offering a wide range of colors and patterns that add a natural and elegant touch to any space.
Installing granite surfaces can significantly enhance your home's market value, making it more appealing to potential buyers and potentially leading to a higher resale price.
Despite its durability, granite is a porous material and can absorb liquids, potentially leading to stains if not properly sealed and maintained.
If granite chips or cracks, repairs can be challenging and expensive, often requiring professional assistance to restore the surface to its original condition.
Granite is very heavy and may require additional structural support, which can add to the overall installation complexity and cost.

Ensure your granite product is properly sealed to protect against stains and spills. Regularly check for signs of wear and reapply sealant as needed to maintain its protective barrier.
Clean your granite regularly with a pH-neutral cleaner and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can damage the surface. Wipe up spills promptly to prevent stains from setting.
Prevent scratches by using cutting boards. While your knife blades won't damage the granite itself, they can wear down the seal over time. Be cautious with acidic substances like lemon juice or vinegar, as they can etch the surface.
