Granite is a kind of an igneous rock that has been formed from magma. It possesses a medium to coarse grain structure. Granite is known for its hardness and toughness and is very popular as a construction stone. It is a commonly occurring type of stone. The word granite comes from the Latin word ‘granum’ with reference to the coarse-grained structure. Granite being a natural stone is a source of radiation. Granite has been widely used as a dimension stone. It is also used for the purpose of flooring both commercial and residential buildings and monuments as well. Granite has long been used as gravestones. They were also used in the engineering field as planes of reference as they are impervious and very rigid. Polished granite is a popular choice these days for kitchen worktops because of its strength and durability and its rich appearance when polished. The kitchen and its accessories are chosen with a lot of care in the modernly designed homes. Being a very significant part of the house, granite is a much sought-after material for worktops as it is simple to use and easy to clean. It is scratch resistant which makes it a hot favorite for use as worktops. The polished surface leaves little room for dirt and insects to hide. It also provides a very glamorous and elegant appearance when polished. In fact, many modern homes have complete polished granite flooring. Granite worktops are preferred because they have a tough exterior and the necessary strength for repetitive heavy-duty kitchen work. The worktops can be used for cutting vegetables and a clean surface can be used for kneading dough. Granite worktops are available in a variety of rates to suit individual budgets. They come in various hues and shades of green, black, grey, tan, pearl, brown etc., to suit the kitchen color scheme. Use of mild soap is recommended for cleaning granite worktops. Use of harsh alkaline detergents containing chlorine and metal pads for scrubbing reduce the appearance and durability of the granite kitchen tops. Granite worktops can be chosen to fit any kind of kitchen décor. Interior decoration companies can give you endless sink-cabinet-worktop combinations to suit your kitchen style, décor, and budget. Most such service providers have their presence on the internet and a prospective buyer can get to know the pricing and appearance by simply going online to these websites. Modern modular kitchens can be completely designed at the press of a button. Claire Jarrett is writing on behalf of My Italian Interiors, who offer quartz worktops and granite worktops uk
