TOP QUALITY Granite Counter Tops Greensboro

Welcome to GraniteCounterTop Greensboro.com

Granite Countertops are still a popular choice for natural stone countertops in the United States. North Carolina has the highest amount of square footage in the country. Granite comes in over 1000 colors and a variety of patterns. Granite is a versatile natural stone that will be a popular countertop material for many years.

You can find this beautiful natural stone in quarries around the world. This hardstone is made mainly of quartz, mica, and feldspar. Quartz makes up at least 20%. It is widely used because of its durability and as a building material. The 26th century BC construction of the Red Pyramid in Egypt, made from Granite and Limestone, is still standing strong today.

This amazing stone is very resistant to heat and scratches, but many colors are porous. We apply a sealer on each Natural Stone Countertop we install because of Granite’s natural porosity. This sealer infuses the stone with a protective layer that makes it resistant to staining and bacteria. We get asked a lot of questions like “How often do I need to seal my countertop?” It all depends on the color.

Different colors have different levels of porosity. Some colors, such as uba-tuba or absolute black, have very low porosity. When answering this question, another factor to consider is what type of cleaner you use to clean your countertops. The life expectancy of your sealer will be reduced if you use strong bleach, ammonia-based products, or degreaser.
