Granite is a natural stone, which is very popular for kitchen and bathroom worktops and countertops. Granite is the top choice of many home designers and homeowners, not only because of its beauty but also because it has excellent characteristics that will make your everyday life easier. So, let’s take a look at some of them.
1. Beauty
No other countertop material has the beauty and uniqueness like granite. Granite is recognizable for its granulation that can vary in intensity and colour.
2. Can be used in various ways
Granite is not just popular for kitchen and bathroom worktops, but also for backsplashes, shower walls, vanity units, floors…It is often used for paving of public spaces.
3. Easy to clean and maintain
Granite worktops are relatively easy to clean; the cleaning is handled with just warm water and soap. Darker granite countertops are denser and may not require the sealant. Lighter coloured ones will probably need to be sealed 1-2 times a year.
4. Durability
Granite is one of the most durable materials found in nature. It has a long life replacement, and will easily handle the high impact of force.
5. Uniqueness
Each granite slab and is unlike any other. By choosing granite stone worktops, you are choosing a one of a kind product.
6. Variety in patterns and colours
Granite comes in a variety of patterns- from almost solid colours with fine granulation to one with very pronounced granulation. Earthy and classic tones dominate the colour palette, covering most of the buyer’s needs.
7. Granite is almost non-porous
Granite is very dense and therefore it is almost non-porous. This means that its surface will be hard to stain. When the sealing is done, its surface becomes completely waterproof and non-porous, making the cleaning easier and the spills removed with one wipe.
8. Environmentally friendly
If you decide to replace your granite worktops, it is worth knowing that it can be recycled and reused.
9. It absorbs temperature very well
If you don’t have the habit of using mats and trivets, you should definitely choose granite. Granite is the best material when it comes to absorbing temperature- you can put away a hot pot or pan on it and it won’t break or melt.
10. Can be used outdoors
Granite can be used outdoors, too. It is not slippery, which is the reason why it is often used for paving.
