The Advantages of Granite

  • Granite is a highly durable material, and can put up with plenty of wear and tear. Because of its strength, it is particularly scratch-resistant, allowing it to maintain an attractive appearance for a long period of time.
  • Granite is also a great choice for flooring, as it is non-porous, meaning any spilled liquids can be easily wiped up, and heat-resistant. Granite floors are particularly easy to clean and maintain.
  • The various minerals within granite add depth and character, since every granite top is different.
  • The colour of a granite countertop will never fade.
  • Due to its appearance and longevity, granite adds value to a home.

Quick Facts

  • Granite is one of the most durable stones used in artistic and architectural applications, including outdoor sculpture.
  • Granite is what’s known as an igneous stone, originally formed by lava. Igneous stones have many advantages including a more inert composition, slower rates of deterioration, have lower water absorption, and are much harder than marble, limestone, and sandstone.
  • Thanks to these qualities, granite is a popular choice for both interior and exterior projects.
  • In the construction trade, granite is often used in the building and renovating of homes. It is a very versatile and strong stone which is becoming more and more common in construction- making it an excellent investment opportunity.
  • End users fall in love with granite not only for its properties, but also its attractive appearance, and its suitability for flooring.
  • As well as a distinctive look, granite floors also feel wonderful to walk on, and are scratch and stain resistant.
  • Granite often costs significantly more than man-made materials, which may lessen its popularity as a construction material. However, in some cases this works to its advantage- it is seen as a “prestige” material, used in projects to produce impressions of elegance, durability, and lasting quality.
