All about Granite

Granite countertops are an excellent choice for kitchen countertops, bathroom vanity tops, bars, and fireplace surrounds because of their gorgeous aesthetics and rich beauty. It is a natural product with a timeless appeal—granite countertops will always be a popular choice. With more than 20 shades to choose from, you can always find a color that matches your cabinets, flooring and walls flawlessly. Here are sone beautiful and attractive qualities of granite:

• Durable: As a natural substance, granite is famous for how expertly it takes normal wear and tear. With the proper care, it can look beautiful for many years to come.
• Scratch resistant: Granite is renowned for its ability to look beautiful and resist scratches. Though it’s not recommended that knives be used on it because it can actually dull the knife, the granite itself can take it. This type of countertop can withstand normal everyday use and will not become damaged.
• Heat resistant: Due to its unique natural properties, granite can withstand high temperatures without damage. This makes it the perfect signature kitchen countertop material. If you need to set down a hot pan quickly, granite can take the heat.

For all its incredible qualities, granite does need care. Because it is known to be slightly porous, sealing granite professionally will help it to stay stain resistant. You can have a professional seal it every year or you can even do it yourself.

All about Marble

Marble is a classic look that will always be in style. It is perfect for low-heat food prep as it does not conduct heat well and keeps at a cool temperature. Unless it is a rare type, marble is also one of the least expensive types of natural stone countertop options out there. The whiteness of it makes a perfect choice for adding an elegant beauty to any kitchen remodeling project. 

Marble is one of the softer natural stones thus special care needs to be taken not to cut on this surface. A cutting board is recommended when knives are being used. It is also a porous material and prone to staining from wine and other dark-colored fruits, so take care with these liquids. These minor drawbacks aside, marble is an excellent choice for a solid surface countertop, and the allure is hard for homeowners to resist.

If you take proper care of a marble countertop, it will keep looking pristine and beautiful for years to come. Here are a few tips and tricks to keep your marble marvelous:

• Avoid using your marble countertop as a cutting board.
• Avoid throwing keys and other surface-scratching objects onto your countertop.
• Keep anything that could stain away from the counter.
• Refrain from using acidic cleaners such as vinegar. Opt for soap and water instead.
• Avoid putting hot objects such as pots and pans directly on the surface of the countertop.
• Make sure you reseal your counter periodically or have a professional do it for you.

All about Soapstone

Soapstone has been a popular, trendy choice in new homes for some time. The dark appearance with lighter veining in soapstone gives it a very unique charm. Many people appreciate soapstone because of its durability. It has more pliability than granite, thus it is less likely to crack and break.

Being a nonporous material, one major perk is that it does not stain, though over time it is known to darken with use. You will not need to seal this countertop. However, some like to polish and shine it with mineral oil, especially since it’s prone to scratching. For this reason, many people like to seal the countertop regardless of its stainless properties.

Soapstone is a bit rarer than its quartz and granite counterparts, so it tends to be on the higher end of the price spectrum. With proper care, however, soapstone countertops prove to be a wonderful investment that can add value and beauty to any kitchen or bathroom for years to come. If you’re looking for soapstone countertop installation, call Arch City Granite today!

All about Quartz

Quartz is a favorable choice due to its many color options and low maintenance bonuses. Also known as “engineered stone,” quartz is a manufactured stone that uses 93% quartz mixed with polyresin materials. Together, these materials create a uniquely durable and high-quality countertop, which is why quartz kitchens are so popular. It is nonporous and never needs to be sealed. Though quartz is scratch and heat resistant, it is still recommended that cutting boards and trivets be used when cooking.

Because of its resin content, you should avoid putting hot pots, pans and dishes directly onto a quartz countertop’s surface for prolonged periods. In general, quartz countertops are relatively low-maintenance, and they’re fantastic options for homeowners who know their countertops are bound for some wear and tear. Quartz countertops also come in a massive selection of different colors and patterns due to their customizable manufacturing.
