GRANITE WORKTOPS
FOR ESSEX, SUFFOLK, CAMBRIDGESHIRE, NORFOLK & LONDON

Granite is an igneous rock and it forms from the slow crystallization of magma. Granite has a medium to coarse-grained texture and it is composed mainly of quartz, feldspar and other minerals. Granite is available in various formats, colours, finishes and thicknesses. Colours vary depending on the mineral composition of the rock. Format, thickness and finishes vary depending on the application. Granite can be used for interior design projects and for landscaping. UV resistant and hardwearing.

Granite is a natural stone and another one of the most commonly used materials for worktops. Like quartz, this material is also very resilient and capable of withstanding high temperatures. While very durable, granite is porous. In order to keep your beautiful worktops in top condition, we recommend using warm, soapy water to clean up spills before they seep into the stone and cause stains. Since granite is a natural stone and does not undergo a manufacturing process like quartz worktops, there are limited colour selections. However, you can see from our collection that there is still a decent-sized scope of natural colours to choose from.

HOW TO CARE FOR GRANITE WORKTOPS

If you have invested in a granite worktop, then you will want to preserve its beauty for as long as possible. While granite is consistently hard, difficult to stain, and nearly scratch-resistant, a bit of maintenance can help your surface look great for years to come.
  • Regularly clean your granite work tops with a damp cloth. Be sure to dry off excess water or soap residue to avoid build up.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaning products or anything that includes alkaline or chlorine. Never use bleach as it will drastically change the finish and color of your worktops.
  • Do not put hot pans directly on your worktop. Take care to use a trivet or mat and avoid excessive heat.
  • Clean spilled liquids promptly, as they can be harmful to your worktop surface. Oven cleaners, juices, and acidic liquids can damage the surface. Food like curry, beetroot, or red wine can quickly stain your surface.
  • Use chopping boards when cutting food to avoid scratching your worktop or damaging your knife set.
