Why use granite floors for a kitchen?

Well, granite is one of the hardest, most resistant and durable natural stones, with added qualities of aesthetics, lower maintenance and, most importantly, easy to clean, which is why granite is used more specifically in kitchens. These are some of the qualities that granite can bring to floors that are second to none.

The kitchen and granite flooring combination is remarkable. The kitchen is one of the places in the house where the floor is subject to spills, things falling, etc., subject to cleaning and durability problems. Therefore, one can rely on the ever-reliable capabilities of granite flooring to address these concerns. Additionally, granite offers multiple color options to match your kitchen.

Granite is resistant to acids and alkalis; therefore you can be sure that oil, boiling water, tea, coffee, sugary fizzy drinks or sauces will impact the floor. Your cutlery or glassware would not chip in any way, you just need to clean up the debris and mop the floor. As a routine, all you need to do is sweep and mop with warm water and a mild detergent soap.

This routine will prevent the granite from scratching, which can be caused by quartz (a sand-like material). Heavily scratched granite can be expensive to restore, with the possibility of altering the color of the granite as well. Except for this one standalone drawback, the other qualities and properties of granite make it a first choice for kitchen and kitchen flooring.
