Granite Countertops

Granite is a natural stone formed under heat and pressure over millions of years. Every slab is unique — colors, veining, and mineral patterns vary across each piece. It's one of the most durable countertop materials available: heat-resistant, scratch-resistant, and built to handle decades of daily use.

Product Description

Granite is quarried in slabs, then templated, cut, and finished to your countertop dimensions. Edge profiles range from a simple eased edge to ogee or waterfall details. The surface is polished, honed, or leather-finished depending on the look you want — polished is the most common and easiest to maintain.

Granite is naturally porous and benefits from sealing every one to two years to resist staining from oils and wines. Heat from hot pans is fine on granite — you can set a pan directly on the surface without harm. Pairs with virtually any cabinet style, from Shaker to flat-panel.
