Granite Countertops – What are the problems?
Granite countertops are expensive and often require new cabinetry as part of a total kitchen makeover adding substantially to the cost of your granite counters. Granite slabs must be matched, cut, and installed with little room for error. Granite countertops require sealing and polishing every 6 months with a quality, penetrating sealer. Without regular sealing, your granite countertops may become cloudy and stained. Avoid allowing liquids including lemon juice, vinegar, alcoholic drinks, citrus juices, or other acidic liquids from standing on your countertop to avoid dulling or even etching the granite finish.
