One of the most popular natural materials used in constructing
quality countertops is stone, with common options including
soapstone, slate, and granite. Once associated with luxury
model kitchens, granite has become increasingly popular as
its price has dropped.
3. The material is widely available both through local
fabricators and from larger manufacturers such as
Dupont.
Cut into long, thin slabs, granite countertops are
nearly seamless and can be purchased in lengths
of up to 10 feet. The slabs are polished and treated
with stain-resistant impregnating sealer that
typically lasts a decade or more. To maintain
granite countertops, professionals recommend
using specialized stone cleaner rather than the
abrasive cleansers often used on less sensitive
surfaces.
