Expert Answers to Your Home Remodeling

Granite and marble are natural creations, each with a unique beauty. Samples may not perfectly match the actual stone due to natural variations in color and veining. Even within a single slab, there may be slight color variations. These irregularities contribute to the uniqueness of each project.


Marble is commonly used for bathroom vanity tops and fireplaces but is not recommended for kitchen countertops due to its susceptibility to scratching and staining from acidic substances. Being extremely hard, granite is preferred for kitchen countertops as it resists scratching and etching from household acids and heat.


Stone surfaces are porous and can absorb liquids, leading to discoloration and staining. While commercial products can restore the stone's luster, regular maintenance and precautions are advisable. Granite and marble countertops are sealed during fabrication and are resistant to various substances. However, periodic resealing is recommended, especially for heavily used countertops.


Granite should be cleaned with mild, phosphate-free, biodegradable dish soap or specialized natural stone cleaning products to maintain its seal and beauty.


Granite is harder than most knives and won't be damaged by cutting. However, repetitive cutting in the same area may dull knives over time.


Granite is durable but can chip if subjected to high-impact blows or sharp objects. Improper sealing may cause staining, but it's generally resistant to heat and other elements.


Granite's crystalline structure results in tiny pits, which are usually not visible due to polishing. Natural fissures may appear but don't affect the stone's durability.


Granite's formation makes it resistant to heat, so it's safe to place hot items directly on the surface without causing damage.


Granite is generally resistant to staining due to its low porosity. Properly sealed granite should not stain, although some colors may absorb moisture temporarily.


Seams may be necessary due to the size limitations of quarry blocks. The visibility of seams depends on the granite's characteristics, but they can be made less noticeable with proper installation techniques.


Granite is tough to damage, but if it occurs, repairs can be made using a mixture of epoxy and ground-up granite chips.


Granite offers durability, heat resistance, easy maintenance, and versatility in design and is a popular choice for countertops.


Advancements in stone-working technology have made granite countertops more affordable than synthetic materials. Additionally, they can increase the resale value of your property.
