Granite FAQs
Q: What is granite and why is it popular for countertops?
A: Granite is a natural igneous rock formed from cooled magma, composed mainly of quartz and feldspar. Itβs popular for countertops because itβs durable, heat resistant, scratch resistant, and offers unique natural patterns that make every slab one of a kind.
Q: How durable are granite countertops?
A: Granite is one of the hardest natural stones, ranking 6β7 on the Mohs hardness scale. With proper sealing and care, granite countertops can last for decades without losing their beauty or functionality.
Q: Do granite countertops need to be sealed?
A: Yes, sealing granite helps prevent staining and keeps the surface protected. Most slabs should be sealed once a year, but some dense granites may need sealing less often.

A: Granite is more durable and heat resistant than marble, and unlike quartz, itβs 100% natural. Quartz offers more uniform patterns, while granite provides unique one-of-a-kind looks.
