Common questions

How often does granite need to be sealed?Once at installation, then roughly once a year depending on the stone and how hard the kitchen works. A simple water-drop test tells you when it is due.

Is granite still popular for kitchens?Yes, especially where people actually cook. Its heat resistance and durability keep it a top choice.

Granite vs quartz: which is better for a busy kitchen?Granite takes direct heat and hides wear in its natural pattern. Quartz is more uniform but cannot take a hot pan.

Can granite handle heat, cold, and outdoor exposure?Yes. It is one of the best natural stones for outdoor kitchens and takes temperature swings well.
