Benefits & Considerations
Benefits
Granite resists scratches and everyday wear, making it a strong surface for kitchens and high-use areas.
Granite resists heat, but sudden temperature changes can damage the stone. Use a trivet or hot pad under hot cookware.
Natural stone is often viewed as a premium upgrade, which can enhance the perceived value of a home.
No two slabs are the same, giving every project a one-of-a-kind finished look.
With proper care, granite maintains its appearance and durability for many years.
Considerations
Granite is porous and needs periodic sealing to help protect against staining and moisture.
If not sealed properly, granite can absorb liquids like oil or wine and develop stains.
Granite is very dense and requires proper support and professional installation.
Color and pattern can vary significantly between slabs, which may require careful selection.
Edges and corners may chip if impacted with heavy objects.
