Granite is one of the toughest and hardest materials in the world, second only to diamond. That said, when you have a granite worktop installed, you will likely never need a replacement worktop again.
As they are so tough, granite worktops are extremely durable and resistant to scratching, cracking and heat.
When properly sealed by a professional, a granite worktop can be easily cleaned using soapy water or a mild cleaning solution, making them an extremely low-maintenance option for your home.
Granite worktops are very desirable to potential buyers due to their durability and stylish appearance, meaning that you may see a return on your investment as a result of having granite worktops installed in your home.
Granite worktops are a great long-term investment as they are so long-lasting. You could enjoy your granite worktops for decades, making them far more cost-effective than having to keep replacing your worktops every few years.
Granite worktops are made from natural stone, meaning that they have a very distinctive, natural aesthetic that makes them very popular with homeowners. Granite worktops look sophisticated and glamorous, and their range of colours and patterns give many living spaces an appealing rustic look.
There are lots of different colours of granite to choose from. Whether you’re looking for a dark black, lighter grey or white, there is something to suit all bespoke tastes.
Granite is an igneous rock, composed primarily of quartz, feldspar, micas and other minerals. Its most common colours are red, grey, pink or white, and the rock often has dark strands running through it.
It is an intrusive rock, meaning that it started its life deep inside the Earth’s crust, and then, over millions of years, it crystallised from magma and pushed its way to the Earth’s surface. Granite makes up most of the Earth’s continental crust, and has created many famous attractions across the world including Mount Rushmore.
Granite is often used to make worktops, floor tiles, kerbing and more.
Granite worktops are extremely low maintenance. To clean a granite worktop, you can just use a damp cloth. Cleaning with mild, soapy water should be enough to keep it in pristine condition.
Granite is the most popular type of worktop on the market, so having granite worktops can definitely add to the appeal and value of your home in the long run. Installing granite worktops or worktops made of natural stone could possibly increase your home’s value by up to 25%.
Granite is very resistant to heat, meaning that you shouldn’t worry about damaging your surfaces with hot pots and pans as they should not weaken or crack as a result. However, you should not regularly put very hot items on granite countertops as this can cause discolouration over time.
