Pros and Cons of Granite Countertops

  • Pros of Granite Counters

    • All Natural – Granite is a natural igneous rock made up of of feldspar, quartz, and other natural minerals. This makes it free of additives and synthetic materials, and it’s recyclable!
    • Beautiful – The natural appearance of granite can’t be matched. The quartz gives granite its sparkle, and the other elements create a unique luxurious look.
    • Design Variety – Since every granite slab is unique, you can get a wide variety of colors and patterns from dark to light and warm to cool colors.
    • Durable – Granite stone is naturally resistant to heat and impact, but after being sealed, granite counters are also resistant to stains.
    • Low Maintenance – Granite countertops are also very low maintenance, requiring only an initial sealing and then regular cleaning with soap and water.
  • Cons of Granite Counters

    • Price – Granite countertops can be more expensive than other types of stone or man-made countertop materials.
    • Weight – Because it’s so hard and durable, granite is also heavy, and so countertops can require additional supports.
    • Needs Sealing – As previously mentioned, new countertops do need to have a sealer applied to preserve their natural beauty.
