Description
Granite worktops have quickly become one of the most desired additions to the modern day kitchen, available in many different colours with depth in textures and patterns; they offer durability, resistance and a lifetime worth of service.
The complexity and density of the material, alongside the pristine finishes achievable through cutting and polishing make granite worktops an appealing choice overlaminate and wooden worktops.
Besides looking the part in your home, Granite worktops come with a large list of practical benefits. Being naturally formed, Granite is naturally an extremely strong material; common benefits of having granite worktops include durability, ease of cleaning and increase in home value.
Granite’s excellent durability means that it has resistance to pressure, wear and tear as well as being heat resistance making it ideal for the kitchen. Things, like placing a hot pan on the surface, or using the surface like a chopping board, can be done with no visible damage, but we would advise against this.
Due to the way granite is formed and polished before fitting, it is an extremely hygienic and easy to clean surface. A surface sealer is applied during the manufacturing and polishing process to create an impenetrable shield against all kinds of common kitchen germs. Naturally, granite is a slightly porous material (allows passage of liquids through its pores), so we seal your granite worktops to keep them germ-free.
A common, missed benefit of granite worktops is the additional value they can add to your home. Because granite is a solid and hard-wearing material, it is likely to last a lifetime over the cheaper wooden and laminate worktops.
Deemed a good investment to your home, your granite worktops will never lose their value once fitted.
