Custom Granite Countertops: Beyond Beauty​
 

For over a decade now, granite countertops in Sioux Falls have been a trend with no sign of slowing down. Whether you are seeking to add one special element to a kitchen or bath or doing a complete remodel, granite countertops have a definite wow factor. Granite has depth and reflects the light that definitely showcases its unique pitting, specks, swirls and veining patterns. From classic black and gold patterns to unique blues and pinks, the color choice are endless. However, it’s not just its gorgeous looks that make granite countertops so popular.

 

Practicality in the Kitchen

Granite countertops in the kitchen always look chef-inspired, but these countertops allow chefs to get hands-on. Food can be cut right on the granite countertop without scratching. Granite is as hard as diamonds and quartz. Go ahead and easily roll out dough or make candy on its cool surface. Since granite doesn’t harbor bacteria, it always provides a clean surface. Busy cooks in the kitchen can set hot pans and pots on the surface, as granite countertops in Sioux Falls are heat resistant and don’t burn or scorch.

 

Easy Maintenance and Cleaning

With sealing and stone cleansers, granite countertops can be protected from acidic items like cola or orange juice. If a stain does occur, it can easily be removed with a paste made from flour and bleach. Other than that, mild soap and water does the trick. There are also special granite cleaners that provide a protective thin film. How often should granite countertops be sealed? Depending on usage, sealing is recommended twice a year.
