Why choose granite counter tops over synthetic materials?

While some synthetic surfaces scratch easily and melt under heat, granite resists heat. Granite is also one of the most bacteria-resistant surface and it's not affected by citric acid, coffee, tea, alcohol, or wine. It is, also, nearly impossible to scratch, and with proper cleaning will not stain under normal use.

Can I have different finish option for my kitchen?

Natural stone can be polished, honed, or flamed. Polished finish is a glossy surface that reflects light and emphasizes all the characteristics and markings of the stone. To achieve this finish the stone needs to be polished with 7 different diamond pads, so that the polish will never wear or fade.

Honed finish is a satin-smooth surface and can be achieved by using 3 diamond pads.

Flamed finish is a rough-textured surface frequently used on exterior projects.
