Are granite countertops heat resistant?
Granite is naturally formed from molten lava; it is one of the most heat resistant stones on the planet. This is what makes it so popular for kitchen worktops; you can place a hot pan or tray directly onto a granite worktop without discolouration or other problems.
Can you scratch granite worktops?
Granite is made up mostly of quartz and feldspar and is one of the hardest substances known to man. This means it is resistant to the usual wear and tear of a kitchen, including scratching and scuffing. Granite is a hard wearing, strong stone making it the perfect stone for kitchen worktops. Once polished, it is also resistant to normal household substances such as citrus and vinegar.
Do granite worktops come in different colours?
Granite is formed naturally from quartz and feldspar, but often other minerals are present which can affect the colouring of the rock. For example, if potassium feldspar was present when the rock was formed this can give it a pink colour. Because the colours and patterns in it are naturally occurring, no two pieces will be the same.
