The Pros of Using Granite

Cost:

Granite is one of the more affordable materials with respect to kitchen countertops, especially when compared to marble. So, opting for granite is one of the best decisions for you if you are interested in reducing the costs of your kitchen counter.

Hardness:

Granite is a very hard material so it is extremely practical for use as a kitchen countertop. In if you expect to place a lot of heavy material and items on it, it is especially one of the best materials that you can opt for.

Abundance:

Granite is not a particularly rare material, especially since in the past few decades when new granite mines have been found in many different regions of the world. This makes it relatively easy to access no matter which part of the world you have to reside in.

Diversity:

Granite is a very beautiful material, and it tends to come in very diverse colors and patterns. If aesthetic diversity is a major concern for you, granite can be one of the best materials that you can use especially if you want to have a very diverse-looking décor for your kitchen.

Easy Maintenance:

Granite does not require the same level of maintenance that other more sensitive materials such as marble require, so the cost and effort that’s invested in maintaining granite is far lower than what is required for marble. Thus, the overall costs for granite, both short and long term are far lower than for other materials.

Types of Granite

Black Granite

Absolute Black granite is the most common yet strongest granite variant that is rich in biotite or hornblende. It features a uniform surface that looks sleek and has matte or glossy finish countertops. This is the type of granite commonly used in modern kitchens, commercial lobbies, kitchens, and work countertops.

White Granite

This is the type of granite rich in quartz with subtle gray, beige, or blue veining. It features a crisp and clean surface that adds a touch of light to the rooms. This is one of those types of granite that is perfect for small space countertops, bathrooms, and backsplashes.

Red Granite

This granite type is rich with iron and features striking pink or burgundy tones. It looks and feels warm with its reddish hues. It is well-suited for accent walls, garden steps, monuments, large-scale projects, and working counters.

Gold Granite

It is a type of granite that is rich in feldspar and features a golden or bronze hue. It looks and feels luxurious, especially under warm lighting. It is widely used in premium commercial projects such as Statement islands, entryways, and commercial installations like hotel corridors.

Brown Granite

This granite type has a balanced mix of feldspar, quartz, and mica. It features a chocolate, tan, and chestnut tone. It offers a wood-like, rustic, and cozy feel to any space. The most common uses of it include kitchens with wood cabinets, stair treads, and fireplaces.

Green Granite

This is the type of granite that gets its green hues because of minerals like epidote or serpentine. It looks and feels organic, exotic, and with depth. The most common uses of it include bathroom vanities, garden benches, and spa interiors.

Physical Properties of Granite

It is highly resistant to decay. This is due to the presence of large quantities of silica in the material.

The presence of a mural joint makes it is an easily quarriable stone. The mural joints are formed due to the extreme pressure caused by natural forces causing cracks thus forming joints that later break into cubical rocks that are roughly shaped.

Granite is easy to dress for multiple uses due to the abundant existence of the rift and the grain.

It is incredibly polishable for use in construction owing to its igneous nature

Also, granite has excellent fire resistance properties. This is because it contains fewer minerals.

Also, the presence of fewer minerals makes granite highly resistant to frost.

Except for the mural joints formed as a result of extreme pressures, granite is relatively free from fractures.

Chemical Properties of Granite

As an igneous rock, it is made up of seventy to seventy-seven percent of silica as a core component.

Potassium oxide and soda make up about three to five percent of granite’s composition.

Lime accounts for about one percent of granite composition.

Other components such as iron oxides, magnesia, titian, and water are also found in this rock in variable quantities ranging from one percent to 0.03 (zero point zero three) percent.

FAQ

Q: What are the advantages and disadvantages of granite?

A: Granite is a popular choice for kitchens due to their aesthetic appeal, durability, heat resistance, and longevity. However, they can come with a slightly higher price tag in some cases, require professional installation, and will benefit from annual maintenance in the form of sealing.

Q: Which lasts longer, quartz or granite?

A: Fortunately, the decision between the two rarely boils down to durability. It is really more of an aesthetic decision. Overall, quartz is slightly more durable than granite. But for day-to-day applications, the two materials are quite comparable.

Q: Can you use paper towels on granite countertops?

A: Cleaning your granite countertops is quite easy, and you only need a few basic items: a large, soft, non-abrasive rag or cloth, paper towels, and mild dish soap.

Q: Why is water staining my granite?

A: Your granite shows water marks because the natural stone is porous and has absorbed the water due to an inadequate or missing protective seal. When water soaks in, it can cause the stone to darken. To prevent this, you must seal your granite regularly, as the protective layer wears away with use. You can test if your granite needs sealing by pouring a small amount of water on it; if it darkens quickly, it needs sealing.

Q: Why does granite get cloudy?

A: Cloudy granite is almost always caused by leftover residue—oil, grease, sealer that didn't cure right, or cleaning products that leave a film.

Q: How often should you use sealer on granite?

A: You should seal your granite countertops every 1-5 years, but the best way to tell is with a simple water test: if water soaks into the stone instead of beading up, it's time to reseal. Factors like the type of sealant used, how heavily the countertops are used, and the color of the granite all influence how often you'll need to seal.
