Using granite in your home not only provides beauty but it also adds value, character and durability to your kitchen. Granite is a natural stone cut straight from quarries all over the world. A lot of granite comes from Brazil, China, and Spain. It is distributed by the bundles in slab sizes averaging approximately 115” x 68” and is available for residential and commercial use in thicknesses of 2cm or 3cm. Edge options are numerous and can be very creative to add even more character and beauty. There is an abundance of colors available to satisfy even the most particularl of homeowners and designers, which makes the transition of colors and materials of other components in the kitchen seamless.

Granite is non-susceptible to burns and is highly resistant to surface abrasions, scratching, marring, and staining. Meaning, you can use your kitchen more efficiently without fretting the small stuff like using a pot protector, cutting board, or worrying about spills. It is also easy to maintain as it cleans up easily with soap and water and only requires reapplication of a stone sealer about every two years or longer. On a related note, sealers have come a long way since the introduction of natural stone surfaces in the kitchen. They apply easier, last longer, and are widely available to the public for proper up-keep.
