Granite kitchen countertops are undoubtedly the most popular and expensive choice among kitchen countertop materials on the market. Let us learn more about granite. Below are some common questions and answers.
Granite is formed by the solidification of magma under the pressure of the earth’s crust. It is composed of mica, quartz, feldspar, and other minerals, which makes it one of the hardest rocks in the world. In fact, granite has been used in construction and decoration for hundreds of years. Not as good as this, granite is resistant to abrasion and is very suitable for indoor and outdoor floors. It can also resist temperature changes when used outdoors.
Granite is the fourth hardest natural product after diamonds, sapphires, and rubies. Therefore, it is not surprising that it can withstand the high or low temperature of cooking utensils. It is also resistant to cracks, cracks, or scratches caused by knives and cooking utensils. Polishing can keep the granite bright forever. Some companies’ granite kitchen countertops have a warranty of 400 years.
Granite is easily permeable and will absorb stains. So sealing is very important. The seal can prevent stains and water stains from penetrating into the granite, and a water-based sealant can be selected. Seal before installation, but after 6 months, re-seal it. After that, it will be sealed every one or two years, depending on the surface usage.
