Granite Counters – Info & Tips
Since granite is made up of visible grains of different colored minerals like quartz and feldspar, it has a unique natural beauty, superior durability, and a wide array of available colors. Natural granite is a classic luxury material for kitchen countertops. It has amazing design versatility, and can also be carved to fit any complicated kitchen counter design. Because the minerals inside the stone are very hard, granite countertops are very durable. They can withstand heat and moisture, and are very low maintenance. Property owners thinking about a kitchen remodel can also choose engineered stone products that have the versatility and look of natural granite without the cost.

Cleaning
Use No abrasive cleaners including soft scrub. Clean with mild anti-bacterial soap and warm water for every day type of use.
Heat
Hot pans can be placed on surface with no harm to tops. Granite is very resistant to heat/be careful not to drag pan on granite.
Scratches/Stains
Recommended use is a cutting board. If you spill (ie. wine, oils, hot or cold liquids, etc.) blot up with a paper towel. Granite is not stain or scratch proof, but is very resistant.
Sealing
We have sealed your top at time of installation and recommend that you Re-seal your granite 1 or 2 times a year with a stone/cleaner/sealer. Apply with a soft cloth (2 to 3 ft. areas) let dry and buff with cloth – A little goes a long way. This cleaner/sealer should last you for a few years of applications.
Remember your granite top is “one of a kind”- with a little basic care and maintenance, it will last forever. Stones of Distinction
