What are Granite Worktops?

Human ability to take out granite from earth’s crust and to be able to make it into a worktop is possible due to an amazing ‘marriage’ of technology and human endeavour. Granite worktops are Strong, Sturdy, Suave and Solid.

Granite is a natural stone commonly found in the earth’s crust(technically speaking, in the continental crust that makes up the continents). The molten magma, that is igneous rocks, forms into a hard granular-texture stone when cooled and solidified in the earth in the infinitesimally long time. The word “granite” comes from the Latin granum, which means a ‘Grain’.

Granite is one of the hardest known materials known to mankind, making it ideal to be used as worktops. Granite is mined in a lot of countries, making it available in lots of colours and patterns, while every block is unique.

Having a Granite worktop is like bringing history into your kitchen with its legacy of hundreds of years which nature takes to make it.

What are the Benefits of Granite Worktops?

Granite worktop is an ideal choice for a working kitchen, busy office, high traffic hospitality industry which include bar tops, vanity tops and work surfaces.

1. Granite surfaces are durable. They are nearly as hard as man-made quartz surfaces. So its longevity is a big plus if you do not wish to change a countertop for a long time.

2. Heat-resistant. This benefit is another huge plus point of granite worktops. We can keep hot dishes/pans on its surface without the aid of heating pads. Granite stones are formed at an extremely high temperature and pressure circumstances over a long period, the hotness of your dishes/pans is relatively negligible. Thus, a granite surface naturally resists heat.

3. Granite worktops fade in colour the least: This advantage can be attributed to the addition of minerals during the infinitesimally slow process of cooling and solidification of the extremely hot magma. Hence, there should be no worry that granite will lose its colour.

4. Granite is scratch and impact resistant to a certain degree. As with all the work surfaces, it does require care and logical impacts for it to last forever. Rest assured, with some care and maintenance it will serve you for a lifetime.

5. Hygienic surface. The worktops are relatively bacteria-free, with good maintenance. You can cleanse/wipe it out with an antibacterial solution.

6. Granite doesn’t stain with sealing. The surface requires a sealing to keep kitchen stains at bay. Resealing at set intervals will prevent staining.

7. Low maintenance involved. Compared to marble stone surface, they hardly require much attention and care. You can keep maintaining them with minimal attention for a long time.

8. Unique Blocks. No granite block is exactly the same as another block, this is what makes natural stone worktops unique, and you can say‘That particular stone was born for you!’
