Granite Countertops
Granite is a remarkable igneous rock that forms through the slow crystallization of magma beneath the Earth’s surface. Known for its impressive density, granite offers outstanding resistance to staining and scratching, ensuring that it remains as vibrant and radiant as the day it was installed. Its beautiful coloration stands the test of time, making it a popular choice for a wide range of residential and commercial applications.
To maintain its stunning appearance and durability, we recommend resealing granite countertops every one to three years, depending on usage and traffic. With its combination of elegance and functionality, granite is an excellent choice for creating timeless spaces in your home or business.
