Common Granite Questions
What are the advantages of granite over other countertop surfaces?
Available in a striking array off colors, granite's durability, longevity, and economy make it ideal for kitchen countertops and other heavily used surfaces. Including table tops and floors. Granite is heat resistant up to 480°F without damage. While it can be used directly as a cutting surface without danger off scratching, it can dull your knives so a cutting board is recommended. The coolness of granite makes it the perfect surface for pastries.
Finally, it will look as good as the day it was installed with minimal maintenance.How do you clean granite?
Granite can be cleaned daily with a soft cloth, mild soap and warm water. Do not use harsh chemical cleaners with chemicals like ammonia and bleach. It will break down the sealer and leave the stone unprotected.Does granite scratch easily?

Seams are done using a two-part epoxy resin with color pigments.
