What exactly is Granite (in simple detail)?
Granite is an extremely durable material, and assures a lifetime of beauty. It is recommended for kitchen use. Granite is resistant to heat. Hot dishes and pans from the oven or stove will not damage a granite countertop. Also, cutting on granite will not scratch or damage the surface, though it will dull your cutlery. Other appropriate applications for granite are vanities, bar tops, farm sinks, fireplace surround & hearths, tables, tub decks, shelves and floor tiles. Granite is second in hardness to diamonds. Despite granite’s hardness, annual application of impregnating sealer aids stain resistance. Granite comes in a wide variety of colors, grains and movement. Price ranges from least to most expensive.
