Granite can add amazing value to your home and it looks absolutely spectacular in custom countertops and other surfaces.

Granite has long been one of the top choices for homeowners and builders for over 100 years.

Here are some of the top advantages that you can receive by changing surfaces in your home over to granite.

  1. Heat resistance: unlike many other materials, granite countertops are not nearly as susceptible to damage caused from heat. While we always advise the use of a hot pad, or custom trivet, it is possible to put hot kitchen utensils and more directly on the surface without ruining its integrity. There aren’t too many building products available that can boast the same level of heat resistance.
  2. Density unlike any other surface: because of the density of natural granite, it’s extremely resistant to every day use. This is perhaps one of the biggest benefits of choosing granite – it lasts.
