Characteristics

Granite itself can withstand temperatures up to 1200° F without leaving behind any burn or char marks. Be forewarned: seams and joints are not as durable, so they should avoid excessive heat.

Granite is in your house for the long run. It does not easily scratch and if you happen to drop something heavy on it, it will not chip or break. You can rely upon and enjoy granite’s long-term conveniences of a durable kitchen surface.

Granite is porous, so it does allow oils and acids to seep in and stain, but this can be avoided by sealing the stone.

Though stain resistant, granite does need to be taken care of, but it is a low-maintenance stone. Regular wipe-downs with a damp sponge are usually enough to maintain the stone.
