Q. What are the advantages of having granite?

A.

  • Granite can withstand heat up to 1800 degrees
  • Granite can be used as a cutting board (although we don't recommend this as it will dull your knives).
  • For those who love to bake, granite is the perfect prep surface for all your pastries.
  • With your granite counter top your kitchen will look as beautiful as the day it was installed for many, many years to come.
  • Unlike plastic counter top material, (remember the yellow Formica from the 1960's?!) granite is not a "dated" counter top material. Natural stone has been used throughout the centuries and has maintained "timeless beauty".
