Granite worktops are precisely what the name suggests. They are all-natural rocks, with no additions. Large blocks are removed from quarries across the world and chopped into sheets before being custom-cut to match your kitchen. Here’s a look at the advantages of granite worktops in Harrow.
Maintenance and Care
Granite worktops require less maintenance. It is fairly stain-resistant from normal use. However, because the material is inherently porous, the tops must be sealed with an easily accessible sealing solution once a year. This protection is essential to reduce the possibility of deep stains, which can permanently degrade the beauty of granite.
Aside from that, the robust surface of granite does not chip easily and is very scratch-resistant, so no further care is necessary. To keep it looking its finest, simply wipe it off with mild soap and water once a day. To reduce the risk of surface discolouration or etching, avoid using aggressive cleaners.
If your granite tops do become chipped, they may typically be restored with specialised epoxy resin in a similar colour. Hiring our professionals at Marble & Granite Ltd is encouraged. Some stains can be cleaned with specific granite worktop cleaners. Repairing large cracks and chips is difficult, if not impossible.
