\"HouseDon’t let the beauty of granite fool you: This natural stone is hard-working and durable, making it an ideal choice for countertops. It is becoming an increasingly popular material for counters in both new and remodeled houses. Granite countertops represent an investment in your home, and they will provide years of service.<\/p>\n

Natural Beauty<\/strong>
\nGranite countertops are available in rich and elegant textures that can be found in colors ranging from light accents to deep, dark tones. With basic care, granite’s polish can last indefinitely.<\/p>\n

Durability<\/strong>
\nHot pots and pans can be placed directly on a granite surface without causing any damange. When properly sealed, it is also resistant to stains and is easily cleaned.<\/p>\n

Individuality<\/strong>
\nBecause granite is a natural product, no two pieces are identical. Slabs of granite vary in colors, patterns and textures.<\/p>\n

Ease of Care<\/strong>
\nFor daily cleaning, granite countertops can be wiped with a soft cloth or paper towel and soapy water.
\nWhether you plan to sell your home soon or not, you can increase the value of your home with granite. Granite countertops can add to the resale value of your home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
