Durable Surface & Easy Maintenance

Whether you use your granite countertops to cook or entertain, it’s an extraordinarily durable material that lets you do almost anything, without worry of damage or special maintenance. If you like to cook and bake, you’ll love working on the smooth surface. You can even cut directly on granite, but we don’t recommend it because you’ll dull your knife before even making a scratch on granite, it’s just that durable.

Additionally, granite is a nonporous material, which means it won’t absorb odors or liquids, and cleaning is as easy as wiping down with antibacterial cleaner. Unlike other materials that can develop scratches or pores, with granite you’ll never have to worry about odors or bacteria remaining below the surface.
