Overview
Granite is a highly durable igneous rock composed primarily of quartz, feldspar, and mica. Formed from slowly cooling magma deep within the Earth, granite is extremely hard, scratch-resistant, and heat-resistant. This makes it the premier choice for heavy-duty applications such as kitchen countertops, high-traffic flooring, and external wall cladding.
Key Benefits
- Exceptional Hardness: Scoring 6-7 on the Mohs scale, it resists scratches and chips under daily use.
- Extreme Heat Tolerance: Easily handles direct contact with hot pans or kitchen utensils without damage.
- Low Porosity when Sealed: Resists moisture absorption and protects against persistent stains.
- Unique Aesthetics: Natural crystalline structures create distinct patterns and depth on every slab.
- UV Resistance: Does not fade or degrade under direct sunlight, making it suitable for outdoors.
Buying Guide
When selecting granite slabs, visit the Jigani showroom to check the slabs under natural daylight. Verify that the thickness is a uniform 20mm (or 30mm for custom work). Request slab photographs showing the exact layout of veining, and verify the quality grade to avoid hairline cracks or weak spot variations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does granite require sealing?
Yes. Being a natural stone, granite is slightly porous. It should be sealed immediately after installation to prevent liquid absorption and resealed every 1-2 years depending on use.
How do you clean granite countertops?
Use warm water, a soft cloth, and a pH-neutral dish soap or specialized stone cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners, vinegar, lemon juice, or bleach, as these can dull and damage the finish.
Can hot pans be placed directly on granite?
Granite is extremely heat-tolerant and will not burn or crack under normal kitchen temperatures. However, using trivets is still recommended to protect the surface sealer from wearing out prematurely.
Which granite is best for kitchen?
For kitchens, choose dense low-porosity granite slabs with stain resistance and practical maintenance. We help shortlist options based on usage and design preference.
Is this stone suitable for outdoor use?
Outdoor suitability depends on finish texture, weather exposure, and slip-resistance requirements. We recommend project-fit options for patios, walkways, and external cladding.
