Granite Countertop
Granite countertops bring natural stone beauty with unique veining, speckling, and color variations that ensure no two installations are identical. Formed from cooled magma over millions of years, granite offers exceptional durability and heat resistance—hot pans can be placed directly on the surface.
While quartz has grown in popularity, granite remains prized for its natural character and depth that engineered materials cannot fully replicate.

Placement & Usage Tips
View full slabs before purchase—samples show only a fraction of the variation. Plan seams carefully on large installations. Granite works for counters, islands, and backsplashes.
💡 Pro Tip
Seal granite annually to prevent staining, especially lighter colors. Some granites are naturally denser and require less frequent sealing. Ask your fabricator about your specific stone's porosity.
