A finished worktop also includes measuring, edge work, cut-outs for the sink and hob, transport and installation. These appear as separate lines in the quote, so you know the total before the slab is cut.\"},{\"q\":\"How often does granite need sealing?\",\"a\":\"It depends on the stone and the finish: dense, dark polished granite rarely needs it, while lighter, coarser-grained stone usually needs it more often. The simple test is a drop of water \u2014 if the stone darkens underneath, it\u2019s time to apply sealer again. For everyday cleaning, a damp cloth and a pH-neutral detergent are enough.\"},{\"q\":\"Can oil or red wine stain granite?\",\"a\":\"They can if left on the surface for a while: granite is a natural stone with microscopic pores. Light varieties such as Bianco Sardo and Rosa Beta are usually more absorbent than dark ones. Sealing buys you time to wipe up spills. Unlike marble, granite won\u2019t be etched into dull patches by lemon juice or vinegar.\"},{\"q\":\"How is granite different from quartz?\",\"a\":\"Granite formed in nature, so every slab is different and normal kitchen heat does it no harm, but the surface needs sealing now and then. Quartz<\/a> is a factory-made composite with an even pattern and no need for sealing, but because of its resin binder a hot pan needs a trivet. Choose granite if you value a one-of-a-kind natural pattern, and quartz if you prefer even colour and minimal care.\"},{\"q\":\"Can I see a granite slab with my own eyes before ordering?\",\"a\":\"Yes, and with natural stone it\u2019s well worth it: two slabs of the same variety can differ in tone and pattern. At our Noblessner showroom at Vesilennuki 20 you see each granite as a sample alongside a full-size photo; the most popular granites are on display as full slabs. Visits are by appointment \u2014 tell us which stones interest you and we\u2019ll have them ready.\"}]","_stx_summary":"Granite is a natural stone that copes with hot pans and scratches in the kitchen and needs sealing from time to time.
