How is Granite Formed?
Granite is an igneous rock composed of quartz, feldspar, micas, amphiboles, and trace minerals. Its formation is a fascinating process that occurs during the cooling phase of molten rock. The slower this molten cools, the larger the mineral crystals within the granite become, creating this stunning stone. The granite we encounter today has undergone uplifting to the earth’s surface, leading to the erosion of the overlying sediment and exposing its stunning inner beauty.
Africa Range is dedicated to ethically sourcing the world’s leading granite. We source from quarries worldwide to ensure we offer our customers an extensive range of unique colours, patterns, hues and textures, allowing our clients to choose granite slabs for bathroom and kitchen countertops to blend perfectly into existing interior design.
The Unique Features of Granite Tops
Granite countertops have become a highly sought-after décor feature in residential and commercial spaces, establishing itself as a mainstay in interior design. However, it is their remarkable features that make them a top choice for these areas. When selecting a kitchen countertop, granite is a wonderful choice for the following reasons:
Extremely durable
This stone is a hard-wearing material, making it a superb long-term investment. They also resist cracking, chipping and scratching and will look brand-new for years. It is also heat-resistant, which is why many of our clients prefer installing it in their kitchens.
Requires minimal maintenance
When properly sealed and cared for, this stone requires little maintenance to look its best. Granite does not stain easily and is resistant to bacteria, making it a hygienic choice for kitchen and bathroom environments. Daily maintenance includes simply wiping your bathroom or kitchen countertop with soap and water.
Adds value to your property
Long-term investment
Due to wear and tear, laminate and wooden countertops may require replacement every few years. Stone countertops, however, could last for around 30 years when well maintained – this includes reapplying sealant every few years.
Adds beauty to your property
Our slabs should be professionally installed and sealed to ensure maximum beauty. By relying on professionals to care for your granite countertop installation requirements, you can rest assured that your tops will lend timeless natural beauty to your space.
Environmentally friendly
All stone used to manufacture our products is responsibly extracted from our quarries. Since it is a natural material, the environmental impact of these countertops is limited, making it an eco-friendlier option than other bathroom and kitchen countertop alternatives.
Unique aesthetic
The appeal of natural stone solutions is that no two granite slabs are identical. Although slabs are grouped to partner with others that are visually most alike, all granite solutions offer unique colours and patterns that were created millions of years ago. This guarantees a one-of-a-kind appearance to your space.
Easy customisation
We supply a range of quality stone countertops in assorted patterns, colours and finishes. Granite can be tinted should you have a specific colour requirement in mind. Furthermore, the granite finishes chosen for your countertops can also influence the pattern density.
Getting The Most Out Of Your Granite Investment
To ensure your granite top lasts for years without fading, it must be taken care of! We recommend using the correct sealer and having it professionally applied. Suitable cleaning products should also be used to maintain appearance. Using the incorrect products, such as strong chemical cleaners, can damage sealants, leaving your granite countertop vulnerable to damage. If your granite has already become scratched or damaged, there are products available to fill chips and holes so that the damage suffered becomes virtually invisible to the naked eye.
Determining the Cost of Granite Countertops
Slab Type
Our selection of granite boasts a wide range of colours and varieties. Due to the high demand for certain granite hues, there are unavoidable variations in the price of a granite top. Premium granite, for example, will incur a higher cost than standard varieties. We stock various slabs to ensure our clients find granite that suits their aesthetic preferences and fits within their budget.
The total cost of granite countertops will be influenced by the quantity required to cover your surface. Naturally, a larger kitchen countertop will demand a greater quantity, resulting in an elevated cost compared to the smaller quantities needed for smaller installations.
Certain varieties of granite can be more difficult to source, which impacts its market value. Slabs with lower availability are often more coveted, making them a premium item. When selecting granite for your home or commercial project, it is crucial to remember that while the beauty and durability of this stone are undeniable, the price will vary depending on its rarity and quality.
Finding the Perfect Stone Countertop with Africa Range
How often should I reseal my granite countertops?
Granite should be resealed once every one to two years. However, the frequency will depend on the type of granite and the amount of use the countertop sees. If you notice water soaking into the surface rather than beading up, it is likely time to reseal.
What colour options are available for granite countertops?
Our quality granite is available in various colours, from light to dark hues. Popular bathroom and kitchen countertop colours include white, black, grey, pink, and red.
Can granite countertops be repaired if they get damaged?
Yes, depending on the severity of the damage, granite countertops can generally be repaired if they become chipped or cracked.
