Homeowners with granite counters love the stone for its natural look and durability, not to mention that these counters can easily take a hot pot without any scorching.
Granite counters vary in colour from pearl to pink to midnight black and have a busy look with spattered, swirled or flecked patterns. No two stones are identical and it is this natural, one-of-a-kind feature that makes granite popular in custom kitchens and baths.
But homeowners beware. Polished granite is slippery when wet, so is not necessarily a safe choice for flooring.
Clean granite with mild household cleaners, not harsh chemicals.
Buff yearly to protect and restore its natural sheen.
