To begin the journey of picking out the right type of stone for your kitchen, an important factor is to consider and analyze the absorption rate of the particular stone in context. generally, most clients choose on the basis of color, however, 2 most important factors to consider is Absorption rate and Durability.
Absorption rate is usually less in Granite compared to marble and limestone. Furthermore, granite is generally more durable than marble and limestone. Therefore, considering these 2 factors, less absorption rate ultimately means when spillage occurs on the kitchen countertop, this is eventually lead to NO change in color of the granite countertop. This means you can spill liquids like coffee, turmeric powder and so on. Basically, liquids that are considered tough stains. Ultimately, you will never have to worry about the granite absorbing the color of the liquid spillage and it is easy to clean/wipe off. The next factor is Durability. Having said this, the density of the granite is sully higher than that of marble and limestone. Therefore, eliminating the chances of cracks in your kitchen countertops that would last about 15 years if maintained well. In some countries, the weather is a factor to be considered. And Speaking of Hot weather, since we are still in the kitchen, places that surround the oven/gas burner will expose high temperature on the surface of the granite. Since the durability factor is high in Granite, this will have an almost zero effect on the granite as to no cracking, no change in color ect... Therefore, the next time you are in the market looking for a suitable stone for your kitchen countertops, keep these two factors in mind and opt for granite as your winning option above all.
