What Is Granite?
Granite is a common type of stone that forms an igneous rock, making up a large portion of the Earth’s crust. Igneous rocks come from deep below the Earth’s surface, forming as rock and molten lava that cool slowly. This process is how granite countertop surfaces can offer better durability than other countertop materials and is one of the best options for low-maintenance and outdoor spaces. You can find granite mined all over the world.
Granite countertops offer enhanced quality because they come from purely natural stone deposits. Professionals gather granite materials from stone quarries and cut them into slabs for countertop production. Granite is made from minerals like quartz and feldspar, which bond and crystallize during cooling. This provides ample resistance to water and food acids. Due to the creation process, granite countertops can withstand heat and high temperatures. In addition, this is a more sustainable kitchen countertop option because the general hardness of granite falls between a 6 and 7 on the Mohs scale of hardness, making it scratch resistant to knives and stainless-steel hardware in the kitchen.
