Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Natural Stone and Granite Countertops

What are natural stone countertops?

Natural stone countertops are durable and aesthetically pleasing surfaces made from various types of stone extracted from the earth. Common natural stone countertop materials include granite, marble, quartzite, soapstone, and slate.

What is the difference between granite and marble countertops?

Granite is an igneous rock known for its durability and resistance to heat and scratches. Marble, on the other hand, is a metamorphic rock that is softer and more porous than granite. Marble is valued for its elegant appearance but may require more maintenance.

How do I choose the right natural stone for my countertops?

Consider factors like your budget, aesthetic preferences, and the level of maintenance you’re willing to undertake. Granite is a popular choice for its durability, while marble offers a classic, luxurious look.

Do natural stone countertops require sealing?

Most natural stone countertops benefit from periodic sealing to protect them from stains and spills. The frequency of sealing depends on the type of stone and its usage. Granite typically needs sealing less often than marble.

Are natural stone countertops heat-resistant?

Yes, natural stone countertops, including granite, are heat-resistant to some extent. However, it’s still a good practice to use trivets or hot pads to prevent extreme heat exposure, which can potentially damage the stone.

How do I clean and maintain natural stone countertops?

Use a mild, pH-balanced cleaner and a soft cloth to clean your natural stone countertops regularly. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners. Wipe up spills promptly to prevent staining.

Are there any eco-friendly options for natural stone countertops?

TCF offers recycled surface countertops, and you can also consider locally sourced materials from TCF to reduce the carbon footprint associated with transportation.
