Because of its natural beauty, Granite is overwhelmingly popular in the upscale market.

Granite is heat and scratch resistant. However, like all natural stone products, it is porous and must be sealed each year with a penetrating sealer to keep it from absorbing water and oils.

Even with the sealant, Granite is still susceptible to stains. In spite of the extra maintenance, people still choose Granite because of its timeless appeal.
