Granite is competitively priced with quartz, and many types of granite are even more reasonably priced than some engineered stone and quartz slabs.
Stone surfaces are very easy to maintain. Clean stone floors with warm water and mild liquid soap. Never use acid cleansers or abrasive chemicals on stone. Granite stone should be sealed after installation and every year thereafter, depending on its application.
Wipe down your kitchen countertops with a soft cloth and gentle cleanser is all you need to do to keep your granite looking beautiful. Granite is tough, resistant to staining, etching, and won’t scorch if you happen to place a hot pan on it. Homeowners, who want an extra level of protection, can quickly seal their countertops in about 10 minutes.
Granite will resist damage from heat. A hot pan up to 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit will not damage granite, even if you place the pan directly onto the granite counter. An extreme heat source over an extended period could damage granite surface. The damage that might occur would involve a slight softening of the granite, which could lead to discoloration or gouges in an extreme scenario.
