Published: September 29th, 2022
There are a few options when it comes to kitchen worktops, the main materials they are made from include granite, quartz, and solid wood. It all comes down to your wants and needs. Granite is a great option for worktops as it has many properties which make it super easy to maintain during and after cooking.
Granite is an extremely hard natural stone
Granite worktops are solid, which means that they are more durable and also less likely to need replacement, compared to solid wood worktops. They can withstand the usual wear and tear of everyday use, and granite worktops are even great in other places in the house such as the bathroom. Granite is very often used for worktops as it is highly praised by tradesmen and customers alike.No more worrying about stained worktops
You don’t have to worry about stains from spilling any liquids on your worktop as you can simply wipe them and they’re ready to go. If you’re cooking with ingredients such as turmeric, then you also don’t need to worry about the colouring staining your worktops either. This allows you to be as creative and inventive in the kitchen as you like, without the worry of damaging the worktops.You also won’t have marks left from any of your pots and pans, which is a bonus.Putting direct heat on your worktop is not a problem, as granite is a volcanic rock
Just taken a dish out the oven, but can’t find the heat proof matts? You can put your hot dishes straight onto the granite worktop. This is because granite is a volcanic rock so it has no issue being in contact with heat, so it’s a great option for convenience. Just remember that the granite can hold the heat so be careful once you remove the hot dishes as the surface will still be hot.Granite is hard wearing and scratch resistant
The durability of granite is a big selling point as it is made to last. This means that you don’t have to worry about chipping your worktops, or getting scratches. You wouldn’t be able to not use a chopping board when preparing food if you had a solid oak worktop, whereas with granite, you can go without!There are hundred of colours to choose from
