What is Granite?

Granite is an igneous rock, which means that at one time during its development, it was melted like volcanic lava.  Unlike lava, however, this melted rock never reached the surface.  It remained trapped inside the earth, where it slowly cooled and crystallized.  The end result is a very uniform, speckled stone that ranges in color from black and gray tones to pinks, browns, reds, greens and whites.

When to use Granite?

Granite is striking, functional and extremely durable.  These traits make granite ideal for kitchen countertops, accent islands, bar tops, everyday dining tables, and many other uses. Even the finest synthetics can't match granite's natural range of colors, nor are they nearly as versatile, durable, or long lasting.
 

Granite is very easy to maintain.  Warm water, mild dishwashing liquid and a soft cloth clean up most spills.

Granite is a worry-free surface, requiring few special precautions. It is extremely durable, stain resistant and easy to care for.  Hot pots and pans won't damage it.  It won't chip, crack or scratch under normal use.  Cutting boards are recommended when slicing bread, meats or vegetables to protect your knife from becoming dull.
