Granite Countertops

Granite is the most popular natural stone countertop on the market today. This hard stone counter material merges natural beauty and extreme toughness, an ideal combination for kitchen countertops. Second only to diamond in hardness, granite is nearly impossible to scratch and can easily withstand the heat from pots and pans. Available in a rainbow of colors, patterns, and textures, granite counters are perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, and any number of commercial applications. StoneOne offers a wide variety of granite types from around the world, ranging from exotic reds and blues to the more common tan, brown, and green granites. The unique natural patterns of granite, from large crystalline structures to stripes and speckles, mean that your countertops will truly be one of a kind.

StoneOne recommends granite for almost any stone countertop application because of its durability and sturdiness. With its low maintenance finish and timeless beauty, granite is appropriate for:

• Kitchen countertops
• Bathroom countertops and vanities
• Fireplace mantels
• Jacuzzi surrounds
• Bar-tops
• Custom tables and desks
• Shower surrounds

Granite countertops are naturally porous, so StoneOne applies a sealant prior to installation. This will help your natural stone countertop resist stains and preserve its spotless appearance. We do recommend regularly reapplication of a penetrating sealer to maintain this stain resistance. You can also reduce the likelihood of staining your granite countertop by wiping up spills promptly and avoiding ammonia-based cleaning products. Keep in mind that lighter-colored granite countertops are more likely to show stains.
