Granite Countertops

The beauty of granite countertops is unmatched. There’s something timeless & appealing about granite. High-quality kitchens look amazing with granite countertops & often become the room’s focal point. Granite comes in 200 shades, so you can pick one that matches your cabinets, flooring, and walls.

What are the features & descriptions of granite countertops?

The choice of granite countertops is a personal decision based on taste, color scheme & style of life. But it’s essential to know the features of the material before making the final decision. Granite is a beautiful, luminous stone with a great variety of styles, colors, and designs.

Sometimes we have customers asking if granite countertop is natural. Yes, granite is 100% natural. But at the same time, there is granite that is already pre-sealed. We import it from quarries. Then it is cut into different slab sizes, polished, and delivered to the showroom. Granite slabs can have a very exotic look, reveal a personal statement, & change the look and atmosphere of kitchens and bathrooms.

Some stones are very rare and hard to find. These slabs will have a lot of veining, structure, color shades, and tints. Granite is also known as “fire rocks”. It is formed by slowly cooling pockets of magma trapped beneath the earth’s surface. Since the stone is so hard with so many colors, it makes a perfect choice for countertops.

Granite countertops can be sealed for up to 1 year, and some companies can seal it for up to 3 years. Once granite countertops are sealed properly, no staining should occur. To maintain the luminosity of granite, clean it with a specifically designed cleaner for granite. For example, Stone Spirit has an excellent product that cleans and maintains the sealant and the granite’s shine.
