This sturdy material is the easiest pick because it\u2019s readily available in local markets and your contractor or mason <em>bhaiya<\/em> can install it with ease. The only challenge will be in choosing the right colour and grain to match your interiors. For smaller or dimly-lit kitchens, choose lighter shades of the stone with fine grains. Bright and spacious kitchens can make the most of darker hues and patterns.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What you need to know:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Granite used for kitchen platforms is heat- and scratch-resistant. This means that you can easily place hot utensils directly on granite surfaces as well as cut vegetables and fruits on it.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It comes in a range of designs and colours (not just black and white!), each of which make your kitchen look aesthetically nice.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cleaning granite kitchen surfaces is simple\u2014just wipe a clean cloth over it and you\u2019re done. However, if your granite kitchen worktop is poorly sealed, the surface can absorb spills and stains, and will be difficult to clean.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once installed, you won\u2019t need to change a well-sealed granite countertop for decades to come. It lasts that long!<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Granite countertops don\u2019t crack, chip or dent easily, unless you drop something extremely heavy on them.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>2.
