GRANITE CHARACTERISTICS:
|
Granite is the most durable natural material most suitable for kitchen countertops. It has very little aging in the appearance and touch due to its hardness, heat and scratch resistances, and minimal absorption. Typical use such as general cutting in food preparation, granite has more resistance for scratches other than any other surface. You may also place hot dishes directly out of the oven onto the countertops without the fear of damaging your granite countertops which is not the case in most other surfaces. |
GRANITE CARE:
|
Natural stones exhibit the quality of being porous which simply means it can be penetrated by liquids such as water and oil. So at the time of installation, We seal your countertops with an impregnating sealer to minimize staining. Resealing your countertops is a quick and simple process and should be done annually. After the countertops are clean and dry, wipe the sealer on the surface with a cloth, allow the sealer to dry for at least 30 minutes, and you are done. Care and cleaning your Granite stone countertops is very simple and will boost the life of your countertops. In addition to dusting, you should clean natural stone on a periodic basis with warm water and a mild cleanser. Abrasive cleaners should not be used at any time. Avoid using cleaners with ammonia, bleach, acids, or other all-purpose cleaners. Any cleaning solution made specifically for natural stone should be used. These cleansers are mild and do not contain harsh chemicals which can be damaging to the sealant and you may need to apply the sealant again over countertop. It is important to clean all spills and avoid leaving unwrapped foods on granite surfaces. Use a paper towel to blot up spills as quickly as possible, and avoid wiping a spill since it will spread the spill. Use a soft cloth to dry the area completely. You can find the cleaning products at most home improvement stores.
