Granite is known for strength, but every variety is different. Porosity, fissures, finish, slab structure, seams and support still require careful review. Choosing with those factors in mind protects both appearance and performance.
Compare movement, color, porosity, finish and suitability for the intended environment.
Verify field dimensions and place focal slab areas, seams and cutouts intentionally.
Cut, shape and polish counters, islands, vanities, backsplashes and specialty pieces.

Many granites benefit from sealing, while some are quite dense. The specific stone and finish determine the recommendation.
Granite tolerates heat well, but trivets are still recommended to avoid thermal shock and protect adjacent finishes.
Fissures are natural crystalline features that can look like fine lines. They differ from damage and are part of many slabs’ character.
Many granites are suitable outdoors, but the stone, finish, climate exposure, substrate and installation system must be evaluated.
