Granite countertops can transform a drab kitchen into one that is breathtaking in the time it takes to complete the installation. Because granite is a natural stone, no two slabs look alike so no two kitchens will be identical. Because of its elegance, availability and durability, granite has become the countertop of choice. Granite, like any raw natural stone is porous. Granite is Strong. Granite is heat resistant. Granite countertops are not a trend. Because of its wide range of shades and colors, and capacity to match and complement any cabinet, sink, and appliance material, granite will remain at the top of the list well into the future.
