GRANITE Countertops
What Are the Different Colors of Granite?
Color is determined by the specific minerals of the stone. The colors range from a very soft, mottled gray, to a redder brown. Fine-grained stones are more likely to be red, whereas coarse-grained stones may be a brown-gray color. Stone is usually worked by using a blowtorch to remove the exterior layers of the stone. Red tumbled marble is typically one of the most expensive stone species. There are many colors, shades, and textures.

Ceramic versus Granite
Granite is the material of choice for the majority of countertops, but there are some outstanding options with ceramic. Ceramic offers the ability to color match your countertop to your existing wall color. However, granite is typically much stronger and has a higher gloss compared to ceramic.
How to Care for Your Granite Countertops
Granite countertops are widely known for their long-lasting durability and resistance to stains. But taking proper care of your granite is key to maintaining its look and durability.
Here are a few tips to properly care for your granite countertops and keep them looking great:
- Brush it gently and evenly using a soft bristle brush to remove any rough spots
- Wipe it with a wet cloth to remove excess oils on the surface
- Clean the granite surface with warm water and/or dish detergent
- Polishing compounds can be effective in removing any scratches
- If there are large scratches that cannot be removed, contact us for professional advice
