What it is

The story behind granite.

Igneous rock formed under intense heat. Granite is hard, heat-resistant, and every slab is geologically one of a kind.

What we love about it

  • Extremely hard and scratch-resistant
  • Heat-resistant, so you can set hot pots directly on it
  • Each slab is unique
  • Long-lasting when properly sealed
  • Excellent value vs. premium engineered stones

What to know before buying

  • Needs resealing every 1–3 years
  • Patterns vary from slab to slab, so always see the actual slab before ordering
  • Heavy, so cabinets must support the load

Care & maintenance

Wipe with mild soap and warm water. Avoid acidic cleaners (vinegar, citrus). Reseal once a year for kitchens, every 2–3 years for low-traffic surfaces.

Typical price range
$40 – $140 / sq ft installed

Typical range for a full kitchen install (template, fabricate, install). Final quote depends on slab, edge profile, and cutouts.
