It’s Heat Resistant: Granite is highly heat-resistant, which means it can withstand hot pots, pans, and other kitchen items without sustaining damage. While it’s still recommended to use trivets or hot pads to protect the surface, granite’s natural resistance to heat is a valuable characteristic.
It’s Stain Resistant (with Sealing): While granite is somewhat porous, it can be sealed to enhance its resistance to stains. Sealing the granite helps to create a protective barrier against liquids, making it easier to clean and maintain. Regular resealing is recommended to ensure continued stain resistance.
It’s Long Lasting: Granite countertops are known for their longevity. When properly maintained, granite can last for decades without losing its beauty or structural integrity. This longevity makes it a cost-effective choice in the long run.
