Granite
is....
Virtually impervious to water and
is actually less absorbent than some plastic products.
(Water can soak into a granite countertop and leave
a dark colored spot but this will evaporate in minutes.)
Resistant to stains. Generally, any
liquid spilled on a granite top, if wiped up within
a few minutes, will not stain. Liquids that do not
evaporate, such as oils will cause stains if left
to soak into the stone. Most stains can be removed.
Even oil stains can usually be removed using a poultice
or paste that will draw out the oil from the stone.
Highly scratch resistant and will
not show wear from daily use. Shine will last for
many years. Routine cleaning with mild soap and water
is all that is generally required. Once a year, a
re-application of a penetrating sealer should be performed,
which only takes about 15 minutes—less time
than scouring a solid surface countertop with a cleanser
to remove scratches.
Heat resistant and can withstand
the heat of hot pots and pans without damage.
Incredibly
durable and commonly used as building material
for high-rise buildings due to its ability to withstand
gale force winds and rain.
Competitively priced compared to
other high-end surfacing materials, and when you consider
the durability and longevity of granite, it's actually
a much better value.
