Granite is a 100% natural stone, it is a very hard stone which is extracted from quarries around the world. Granite is made of quartz, micas, and other minerals. The granite blocks are sawn into slices, which are then polished.
Granite is also a very durable material and unlike Quartz, it is heat resistant. The downside of granite, if there is one, is that it needs to be sealed about once a year. Know that the operation is easy. However, some Quebec granites do not require any sealer. To wash your granite countertop, all you need is a little soapy water or a granite cleaner. Another advantage of granite versus quartz is that granite repairs are more aesthetically pleasing when a professional repairs your countertop.
Granite is a natural stone which makes it an excellent choice when you want to add character to your kitchen. It blends remarkably well with all styles of kitchen cabinets, especially classic styles.
