There are still people who ask me, “Why use prefabricated granite countertops?” I would often say that this is functional. They would often throw a follow up question such as “What about marble or limestone?” That's when I realized that not all people are know much about granite. Their knowledge is limited to the fact that this stone is perfect for aesthetics. They don't really know much about its practical properties.

Basically, granite is the second hardest stone in the world, next to diamonds. Because of this, it's better than any other kind of stone. The pattens that you will see on the surface of these stones is caused by the minerals. Usually, the more minerals it has, the darker its color (i.e. black granite). Each piece of granite is unique. Manufacturers of granite tiles do not really do anything to tamper with its design. Basically, when this is taken from mountains, these already have their natural beauty.

Granite is perfect for any home because of the following reasons:

• Granite is scratch and stain proof. It has a natural sealant which can absorb any type of liquid. It can sustain its appearance for years because of its composition.
