Granite Countertops and Surrounds

Popular choice for kitchen and bathroom surfaces due to their durability, heat resistance, and unique natural patterns and colors

Granite is extremely hard and stain-resistant. As a natural material, it has irregular patterns and can show substantial variation between slabs. Each slab is unique, hard, durable, and scratch-resistant. Impervious to stains, heat, and water when sealed. Custom granite is favoured since it is easy to clean, comes in all colours and is an ideal natural stone for all countertop locations. In addition, fireplace surrounds are beautiful and add value to your home.

Granite is also a good choice for tub surrounds and kitchen countertops because it is scratch resistant and easy to care for. When choosing granite for your home, keep in mind that no two pieces are alike, so each granite slab will be unique for your custom granite projects.

What is Granite?

Granite is an igneous rock that contains at least 20% quartz by volume and also contains mica and feldspar. It’s mined from around the world, including quarries in India, Brazil, Norway, Italy and China. Mined granite is then cut into slabs and usually polished. It is extremely hard and stain-resistant. As a natural material, it has irregular patterns and can show substantial variation between slabs.

Why Choose Granite?

Granite is a durable material that can withstand daily wear and tear. It is resistant to scratches, chips, and cracks, making it suitable for busy areas like kitchens and bathrooms. Granite is naturally heat-resistant and can withstand hot pots, pans, and cooking utensils without damage. This makes it a practical choice for kitchen countertops and bathrooms. With proper care and maintenance, granite countertops can last for decades. The durability of granite makes it a long-term investment for homeowners.

While granite is porous, sealing the surface properly during installation helps make it resistant to stains. Regular resealing is recommended to maintain this property and ensure longevity. In addition, being a natural stone, it has some inherent resistance to bacteria when sealed. This adds to the hygiene aspect of using granite in kitchens.

Granite countertops are often considered an upgrade, and their presence in a home can increase its resale value. The cost of granite can be higher compared to some other countertop materials however for many homeowners the combination of durability, natural beauty, and long-term value makes granite a worthwhile investment for their homes.
