Granite may have more competition than ever before, but its popularity is still unquestioned. The beautiful, strong surface of granite has a natural grain, which gives each installation a unique look. The downside is the fact that it's porous, which means a yearly sealing is required. Stains should also be wiped up promptly. By virtue of its tough natural qualities, granite makes excellent countertops that are resistant to extreme heat, chipping, and cracking. Granite countertops have extremely hard surfaces and you will be required to place your fragile glasses, plates, and cups on it with extreme care.

The empty grains of sandstone are filled with quartz. This process makes quartzite harder than quartz. View colors available at YeYang.
