GRANITE
Every granite countertop is unique because it is a natural material-no two slabs are alike. Granite is a type of igneous rock, composed of feldspar, mica, and quartz. It can be mined in a number of different places-including India, China, Italy, and the United States. Granite is resistant to all types of bacteria and germs. Even without sealant, it’s less porous than other natural stones. BENEFITS OF GRANITE ECO-FRIENDLY- because granite is a natural material, it is 100% recyclable. HEAT RESISTANT- being an igneous rock, granite is accustomed to extreme temperatures. This makes it a great choice for kitchen and bathrooms, where hot tools are commonly found. SCRATCH RESISTANT- granite scores 7/10 on the Mohs Scale of Hardness, which makes it one of the best materials for scratch resistance. LONGEVITY- can last 10-15 years with regular maintenance & up to 100 years with proper care. |
