Granite kitchen worktops

A granite kitchen worktop is what makes the kitchen. It is the work surface where we prepare food, cut it, chop it and spill things too. The kitchen worktop is where we do homework with our youngest, teach them cooking skills and, of course, spend time with family… Of all the materials on the market, natural stone is certainly the best choice for a kitchen worktop. It is an investment in both quality and durability.

Granite kitchen worktops and their advantages

Every rock that natural stone comes from has its own mineral structure and colour, veins and spots, which we can later finish as you wish. A natural stone kitchen worktop is a great choice, because you will never again have to worry about where to put down a hot pan, and this stone will almost certainly last longer than any other material. Natural stone needs very little care. Before use, we recommend sealing the granite surface so that it does not absorb any liquids and stays resistant to stains. Granite is beautiful, extremely hard-wearing and heat-resistant. It brings elegance to a room and will inspire your cooking for many years. Granite can be exposed to sun, rain and other weather without fading, so you can have it not only indoors but also outside in an outdoor kitchen. Properly finished granite also keeps out bacteria that would otherwise find a home in your new kitchen worktop. Granite is hard enough that you do not need to worry about scratches. Rest assured, whatever the colour and shade of your kitchen, our choice of granite is so wide that you will find a pattern that completes your kitchen.

Fitting a kitchen worktop

Our customers often ask whether a stone kitchen worktop (natural stone) needs any extra reinforcement of the kitchen units. If you choose granite, our answer is no. When a worktop is made of several pieces, we make sure the joint between them is clean and level, with truly minimal deviation, and the sealing between the pieces speaks for itself.

Care and maintenance of a granite kitchen worktop

A granite kitchen worktop is very durable and no type of cleaner will harm it. Even so, we recommend cleaning it with just a soft cloth and hot water. This is enough even if you are worried about germs and bacteria. Special granite cleaners are also available, and you can buy them from us. Of course, if you wish, we can also make a marble worktop for your kitchen, but we think it is too soft. Of all natural stones, we recommend granite, which is by far the most suitable. It really is the best quality solution for your new or next kitchen worktop. Visit us in Hoče at Miklavška cesta 53 B, or write to us at komerciala@marnit.si. You can also call us on 031/ 612 – 266.
