Description of this White Crystal
Colonial White Granite is predominantly extracted from the Northern region of India. Much like other Indian metamorphic rocks of this similar category, this white granulite also has frequently scattered bands of black and reddish garnet spots distributed all over the cottony white wool background. But the pattern exhibited is not in a linear fashion, rather it appears to be chaotic with the non-uniform distribution of irregular-sized specks and spots.
Colonial white granite has gained its momentum in the White worktop and Kitchen worktops UK trend after the huge popularity of Kashmir White Granite (also referred to as Cashmere White) amongst homeowners.
The muted grey and moderately creamy tones present in it which appear to be quite similar to but less linear than Kashmir granite and far less so than River white granite are one of the reasons Colonial White Granite has been grabbing the attention of customers, especially those who prefer authentic, subtly hued natural stone white worktop.

Kitchen Worktop White Granite-Desirable Qualities
-
Unique Stone Worktop
Colonial White Granite formation takes place under extreme temperature and pressure in the core of the earth when molten lava slowly cools and crystallizes while moving towards the surface of the earth.

Durable Stone Worktop

Using chopping boards, and knife covers will take your worktop a long way.

Heat-Resistant Kitchen with White Worktop
Your worktop made of Colonial White Granite won't develop immediate stains when you place hot objects directly on them. Granite can largely withstand heat, which is a beneficial point for their usage in a place like a kitchen that sees regular dealings with ovens, hot pans, etc. They do not crack or weaken when in contact but it is recommended that trivets and heat coasters be used. This will lengthen the life of granite countertops and keep them looking newer for longer periods.

Disadvantages of Counter Granite
Although relatively lesser as compared to other common stone worktop materials, granites are still fairly porous in nature which means there are high chances of water and several spill absorption, making them susceptible to etching and wear and tear when in contact with acidic substances and corrosives. This Colonial white granite being so much lighter in colour makes this even worse as even the smallest of stains on the surface can be easily visible. Not just this, the porous nature encourages the penetration of those marks making them impossible to remove.
Solution
- Sealing and Cleaning: Biannual or annual sealing of granite kitchen countertops will prevent all the disadvantages likely to arise from their porous nature. Proper sealing will block the minute pores so that they cannot anymore absorb food and liquid spills from wine, coffee, tea, juices, grease, pigments, etc. Instead of being sucked up, those items will form beads on top of the sealed granite which can be wiped away with a soft cloth in the soapy liquid and warm water followed by dry wiping. This will also prevent bacteria from harboring inside making your white kitchen countertops more hygienic.
Suitable Application
The durability of this material makes it suitable for use as interiors as well as exteriors. For interiors, it can be used for kitchen countertops, kitchen islands, peninsulas, breakfast bars, upstands, backsplashes, window sills, stairs, decorative items, souvenirs, etc. Well, processed ones can even make gorgeous bathroom worktops, kitchen sink units, vanity tops, shower walls, artistic basins, etc.
