Are granite worktops heat resistant?
Granite is an igneous rock, which means that it is formed from molten lava. This means it would take the temperature of actual molten lava to change its structure! Granite is one of the most heat resistant substances on the planet, so you can rest assured that your hot pots and pans will not be a problem.
Can you scratch granite countertops?
Granite is a very hard stone, comprised mainly of quartz and feldspar. It is one of the hardest substances known to man, and is resistant to the usual wear and tear of a kitchen such as scratching or scuffing. It is an incredibly durable, hard-wearing stone which makes it ideal for kitchen countertops. Many of our happy customers in Surrey have opted for granite because it is such a strong stone, and they have been delighted with the result. Once it is polished, granite is also resistant to the usual household substances that can sometimes cause discolouration or stains, such as lemon juice or vinegar.
Do granite worktops come in different colours?
The beauty of granite is that it comes in such a wide variety of colours. The colour of a piece of granite depends on which minerals were present when the rock was formed, for example if muscovite was present when the rock was forming this will produce a beautiful yellow or metallic gold colour.
No two pieces of granite are the same, because they are produced naturally. This means that your granite worktops will be truly unique to you.
