GRANITE- DURABLE MATERIAL FOR COUNTERTOPS

Granite is considered to be a popular choice for countertops. With its rich look and polished surface, granite can fit in any style, be it modern or traditional. Regarded among one of the beautiful stones in the world, it comes in various remarkable colors. Granite countertops can be extremely durable, eco-friendly, economical as well as maintenance free.
Granite derived its name from the Italian word “granito”, meaning grained and it is a natural stone. It contains crystallized minerals like mica, feldspar and quartz. As far as durability is concerned, diamonds are the hardest. Granite comes in the second place. Granites are highly durable and it is recommended that avoid using knives on granite as the hardness of the stone could dull its blades! Being one of the most heat resistant materials, it can be efficiently used as a building material for high-rises as well.
Granites do not require much of maintenance. Regular cleaning with water and mild soap would be just sufficient. Unlike marble, granite would not lose its polish with time and will remain just the same as if it was newly installed. Granites have been in                 use since ages, and is not much expensive.

Owing to its timeless beauty and durability, granites are going to stay for long. Want to install Italian marble flooring in your home? Connect with us.
