Scratch Resistant:
Granite is one of the hardest worktop materials. Since it is resilient to scratches, it makes an ideal surface for everyday use. The kitchen being one of the busiest places in a house that involves regular use of cutlery and heavy appliances, it is safe to say that granite worktops are worth investing in.
Heat Resistant:
In general, granite worktops can easily withstand heat up to 480°F and possibly up to 1,200°F. However, direct contact for prolonged periods is discouraged as it could discolour the worktop surface. It is therefore recommended to use trivets or heat coasters to ensure the longevity of Black Beauty Granite.
Durable:
Apparently, granite worktops can last for up to 3 decades or more, with proper maintenance. To be honest, it may even last longer than one's home. Granite worktops are sturdy and long-lasting as long as they are sealed annually. So, the formation of fissures and cracks is the last thing to expect on the surface of their kitchen or bathroom worktops. However, it is common knowledge that poor mishandling can cause damage.
Low Maintenance:
Besides the need for annual sealing, granite worktops and surfaces are fairly easy to maintain. They fall under the lower maintenance category of stone worktops. They just require a basic daily cleaning which is as simple as that required for quartz worktops. One can use a soft cloth soaked in a pH neutral cleaner or warm soapy water to wipe out the dirt and dust. This is to be followed by dry wiping to prevent watermark formation.
