Granite Countertops & Slabs

One of the best features of granite stone for countertops is that they do not require much maintenance. Regular washing with a mild detergent and water is enough to keep the countertop looking like new. It is important to avoid aggressive chemicals or abrasive cleaners. In addition, the annual application of a high-quality sealant can protect the stone from stains and other possible damage. However, not all granite slabs need a sealant: dark granites are often dense enough to prevent stains without sealing, while lighter variants need regular sealing to maintain their original, unrivaled appearance.

Thanks to the heat resistance of granite countertop slabs, you can safely place hot dishes or pans directly on the surface. All this makes them a great investment for the future, as they will serve you for many years to come. However, it is worth remembering that scratches and chips can also occur if you handle the worktop carelessly. Our consultants will be sure to advise you on selecting the best solid granite countertop for your home and provide unique care recommendations depending on the type you choose.

Granite is renowned for its durability and longevity. With proper care and maintenance, granite countertops can last for several decades, and some may even endure for a lifetime.

Regular sealing, avoiding harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners, and promptly addressing any damage or stains can all contribute to the longevity of granite countertops. Such factors as the quality of the granite and the installation process also have a significant impact on the service life of the countertop.
