Granite is an excellent material to use as a bathroom countertop and has several advantages:
Durability
Granite is very hard and has excellent resistance to scratching, crushing and abrasion. It is able to withstand the wear and tear and impact of everyday use, making it ideal for HF bathroom environments.
Moisture resistance
Granite is inherently relatively impermeable to moisture. However, because natural stone has very small pores, it needs to be sealed regularly to prevent moisture and stains from penetrating.
High Temperature Resistance
Granite is highly resistant to high temperatures and is suitable for use in bathroom environments, especially near sinks where it may come into contact with hot objects (e.g. water heaters, hot tools, etc.).
Aesthetics
Granite is available in a wide range of natural shades and textures to match a variety of bathroom décor styles. The texture and colour of each piece of granite is unique, adding a distinctive visual appeal to the bathroom.
Easy to clean
Granite has a hard, smooth surface that is easy to clean on a daily basis. Regular scrubbing will remove stains, but care should be taken to avoid acidic cleaners that may damage the surface.
Precautionary measures
Sealing treatment: As granite is a natural stone, although it is relatively impervious to water, regular treatment with a stone sealer is recommended to ensure better resistance to penetration and stains.
Weight issues: Granite is relatively heavy and when installing it, you need to make sure that the support structure of your bathroom countertop is able to withstand its weight.
All in all, granite is an excellent material for bathroom countertops, especially for consumers who are looking for durability, aesthetics, and ease of maintenance.
