Choosing A Countertop Or Backsplash

Can you cut on a granite countertop?

Granite countertops are extremely tough, durable and in most cases can be used as a cutting surface without scratching the stone. However, repeated cutting on a granite counter top can dull knives and can damage the granite if it is not sealed properly.

Does granite stain, chip or scratch?

Granite is a very dense material and under normal conditions it is stain, chip and scratch resistant. Beveled edge options are recommended to reduce the chance of chipping. Granite is a natural material and can stain. Avoid setting hot pans on your granite top and wipe up spills immediately to reduce the chance of stains.

How do I know if I need to seal my granite?

Test your granite at home to determine if it needs to be resealed. Sprinkle water on your counter tops, if the water soaks into the stone then you need to reseal your granite.

Can I set hot pans on a granite counter top?

Granite is ideal for kitchen use. Under normal conditions granite will not burn or discolor from heat. Granite is a non-flammable natural stone that will not be harmed by hot pots, pans, or open flames. To avoid discoloring your granite, try not to place hot pans on the surface.
