Granite may be the most beautiful material for a countertop. But that’s not the only reason to choose this when it comes to redoing your kitchen or bathroom. This material was made by Mother Nature and she made it to last. There is also such a wide array of design when it comes to Granite so why not pick this beautiful cost friendly material for your countertops.
Key Takeaways:
- Granite stands alone as the hardest natural material, second only to diamonds. Harvested from deep within the earth, granite’s innate characteristics make it resistant to heat.
- As with fingerprints and snowflakes, no two slabs of granite in the world are alike. Minerals such as quartz, feldspar, mica, biotite and hornblende.
- Since granite is installed in its natural state, it must be sealed properly to resist bacteria. Once it has been professionally sealed, granite is easy to maintain.
“Some things in life are literally “set in stone.” They stand the test of time. Take granite, for example. It’s amazing to think how – thousands of years ago – the Egyptians used granite to build the pyramids. Then fast-forward to today, where parts of our kitchens and bathrooms are constructed from granite”
