Find answers to commonly asked customer questions about this countertop material
Q: What are granite countertops made of?
A: Granite countertops are made from natural igneous rock that is quarried, cut, and polished. Granite is composed mainly of quartz, feldspar, and mica, giving it a unique and varied appearance.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: Do granite countertops require sealing?
A: Yes, granite countertops are porous and should be sealed to protect against stains and spills. It is recommended to seal granite countertops once a year or as needed, depending on usage and the type of sealer used.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: How do granite countertops compare to quartz countertops?
A: Granite countertops offer unique, natural patterns and variations, while quartz countertops have more uniform colors and designs. Granite requires periodic sealing, whereas quartz is non-porous and maintenance-free. Both are durable, but quartz is more resistant to staining.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: Can granite countertops withstand heat?
A: Yes, granite countertops are heat-resistant and can withstand high temperatures from hot pots and pans. However, it is still advisable to use trivets or hot pads to prevent thermal shock or potential damage.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: What should I do if my granite countertop chips or cracks?
A: Granite is durable but can chip or crack under heavy impact. Small chips can often be repaired with epoxy or resin. For larger cracks or significant damage, it is best to contact a professional for repair or replacement.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: Are granite countertops scratch-resistant?
A: Yes, granite is one of the hardest natural stones and is highly scratch-resistant. However, using cutting boards is recommended to prevent any potential scratches and to protect your knives from dulling.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: How should I clean and maintain granite countertops?
A: Clean granite countertops with mild dish soap and warm water using a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or acidic substances like vinegar or lemon juice, as they can damage the sealer and stone.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: Can granite countertops be used outdoors?
A: Yes, granite countertops are suitable for outdoor use. They are durable and can withstand various weather conditions. However, it is advisable to choose a lighter color to reduce the risk of fading from prolonged sun exposure.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: How do granite countertops compare to marble countertops?
A: Granite is more durable, less porous, and less susceptible to scratching and staining compared to marble. Marble has a softer, more elegant look but requires more maintenance and is prone to etching and staining from acidic substances.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: Are granite countertops environmentally friendly?
A: Granite countertops are considered environmentally friendly as they are made from natural stone. However, the quarrying process can have environmental impacts. Choosing local or regionally sourced granite can reduce the carbon footprint associated with transportation.
