Information about Granite
Countertops
The popularity of granite surfaces
in the home is soaring. But granite has and always will
be a timeless and classic feature of any home. Granite,
virtually indestructible, is a beautiful material on
floors and countertops. Countertops in monochromatic
shades of black, white and gray can fit the latest high-tech
and high-function kitches, while warm earth tones are
at home in traditional and country kitchens. Some granites
seem to exhibit 'movement' or a pattern-like wave of
color. |

Granite is more durable than marble. The silicon based sealant
that should be applied to granite every 3-5 years, seals the
granite about 99%. Hot pots and pans will not damage a granite
surface.

- Each piece unique
