What you need to know when choosing your granite countertop

Granite countertops are natural products which are expected to vary in pattern, color tone, markings and texture. These variations occur from slab to slab, stone to stone as well as within slabs/stone. This is one of the beautiful characteristics of a natural stone product: no two slabs are exactly alike! As a result, seams will not be inconspicuous, although they will be closed and flat.
Granite, while hard, is a brittle product – small chips may occur depending on the stone chosen. Certain colors have more evident pitting than others and this might require further maintenance with your countertop.
 One last point when choosing granite, because it is a natural stone it must be maintained with cleaner and sealer.
