Granite is one of the most durable natural countertop materials. It’s highly resistant to heat, everyday scratching, and general wear. Because granite is a hard, igneous stone, it holds up well in busy kitchens and can withstand regular use without losing its appearance.
Yes. Granite is naturally porous, so sealing helps protect the surface from absorbing liquids and staining agents. The sealing schedule can vary based on the stone and the fabricator’s process, so homeowners should follow the recommendations provided by their installer rather than relying on a set timeline.
Granite is extremely strong, but like any natural stone, it can chip if something heavy strikes an exposed edge. The good news is that chips and small cracks are often repairable. Professionals typically use color-matched epoxy or resin to blend the repair into the surrounding stone for a seamless finish.
