Maintaining granite countertops is relatively simple and requires minimal effort. To keep your granite in top condition, it's important to wipe up spills promptly using a soft cloth or sponge to clean the surface.

5. Affordable

Granite countertops are a cost-effective option, making them a popular choice for homeowners regardless of their budget.

6. Resists Staining

To resist stains, granite countertops must be sealed. The sealing creates significantly reduced porosity, which means they will not easily absorb liquids, making them easier to clean and prevent stains from forming.  

7. Absorbs Heat

Due to the fact that granite is a stone formed under high temperature and pressure, it has the ability to absorb heat. As a result, granite countertops are renowned for their heat-resistant properties.

8. Wide Selection

Granite slabs come in a diverse range of colors and patterns, making it easy to find one that complements your style preferences.

9. Hygienic

Using granite countertops is one of the most hygienic choices you can make for your kitchen. As granite is non-porous, it is more challenging for bacteria to grow, making it easier to maintain a sanitary kitchen environment.

10. Repairable

Small cracks can be filled with an epoxy resin and a hardener.
