Nothing compares to the feel and elegance of natural stone countertops. Granite has fast become popular in recent years. A multitude of varieties and colours are available. Chiefly made of Quartz and Feldspar it’s very dense and hard, stands up well to the treatment it receives & is mostly chemical resistant to alkalis and acids making it a good choice in the kitchen. Generally the lighter Granites are softer than darker Granites.
It is worth asking your supplier to be sure that the Granite supplied is not a Basalt or Dyed as these Granites are not acid resistant & can be damaged & be very difficult to restore.
Although some suppliers may not recommend sealing Granite, it is always best to test first because there are Granites that are more porous than others. A simple test would be to apply a few drops of water to the surface for a minute or so then wipe off. If the Granite is darker in the area where you applied the water then it will need sealing.
