Granite Countertops Deliver Lasting Beauty
Their beauty and durability has created a reputation that's hard to deny. The fact is granite counter tops are a major selling point for homes. Offering quality by design and an appearance that is unmistakably luxurious, granite is a fantastic material to use in kitchens.
Granite is noted by many not only for its appearance, but also its sturdiness and ability to be repaired when necessary. There are some things potential buyers should know about granite counter tops before diving into a purchase.
They include:
Hardness: Granite is considered on of the ten hardest stones known to man. This means it is incredibly tough and durable, but it doesn't mean it's indestructible. It's important to remember that even the hardest of stones can be cut, so some care is required in their use.
Imperfections: Part of the beauty of granite is the fact it does have some imperfections. Granite is known for having hairline cracks and natural fissures. These are generally buffed out partially in the creation of countertops, but some might remain in a finished piece. If absolute perfection is desired, granite might not be the counter top of choice.
Color variations: Since granite is a naturally occurring rock that incorporates other minerals in its creation, manufacturing a solid color that's perfect throughout a slab is not likely. The fact is even colored granite slab counter tops will have some color variations. These, too, are seen as the natural beauty of the product, but should be understood by buyers before the counter tops are installed.
Design: Granite counter tops can be ideal for any type of kitchen or counter setting, but they do not come in the giant sheets fabricated counter tops are known for. There is no way to avoid seams in granite counters. They are a part of the deal. Imperfections in the cuts can be masked well by floating drywall and using other creative techniques.
Durability: Granite is sealed to help it resist scratches and scorches. The sealer is very important and should be replaced on a fairly regular basis. Inasmuch, it's not always the best idea to set hot pots directly on the surface or even try to cut directly on it. While it's very difficult to damage granite, harming the sealer is more than possible.
Cleaning: The combination of natural rock and sealer makes granite a little different to clean than other surfaces. The best way to go about cleaning is to simply use a damp cloth. There are also special cleaning agents to use for granite counter tops that are meant to work with the sealer and protect it.
Granite counter tops are considered the top of the line by many. Offering a natural beauty and durability that's hard to deny, these counter tops lend an air of luxury to any kitchen. Coming in a variety of colors and designs, these counter tops can last a lifetime if well cared for. Although much more durable than an average counter, they do require some special tender, loving care. When it's applied, granite can be a wonderful choice for any kitchen.

![]() Columbian Home 0707-1 Granite Ware 21-1/2-Quart Steel/Porcelain Water-Bath Canner with Rack List Price: Sale Price: $18.97 You save: $11.02 (37%) Eligible for free shipping!Availability: Usually ships in 24 hours See Reviews For This Product DescriptionSix generations of Americans have been using Granite Ware canners to preserve fruits and vegetables. The dark porcelain surface and steel core absorbs energy and evenly distributes heat to the contents. The result is a canner that heats rapidly. The canner is perfect for preserving tomatoes or fruit, processing 7 quart jars at a time. Comes with rack for easy lifting jars from canner. Granite Ware's high efficiency, quick boiling performance combined with its modest cost make it ideal for canning. Porcelain enamel is the result of fusing powdered glass to a substrate by firing, usually between 750 and 850 degrees Celsius. The powder melts and flows and hardens to a durable vitreous coating on a carbon steel core. It creates a smooth, hard finish that won’t burn and resists staining. It’s also non -porous so it won’t trap odors or food particles and provides a low coefficient of friction – meaning that it cleans up easily and, it is corrosion and chemically resistant so it will last a long time. When fired, the vessel is placed on pins so the bottom and sides are hardened during the firing process into one smooth laminated glass surface. You may notice slight pin indentations where the glass has flowed around the pin that supports the base during firing. The pin marks do not compromise the finish or performance of the vessel in any way. Can be used on gas or electric stove tops. Not recommended for glass stove tops. 21 1/2 qt capacity. Features

Curious? Take a look at some excerpts below. You'll be sweeping and shelving your way to a happier home in no time. --Daphne Durham How to Use This Book: An Excerpt When the first issue of Martha Stewart Living was published in 1990, I could not have begun to anticipate how wide-ranging our readers' homekeeping concerns would be. Since then, we have discovered new solutions to age-old problems, brought in experts to advise us on very specific questions about very specific?c concerns, and experimented with all the new (and not so new) home-care products. Over the years, I've brought these lessons home with me, too, which has made me more organized and made my homes better cared for and maintained. Households are busy places, works in progress where there is always something needing immediate attention and always something more that can be done. With that in mind, I have organized this book to address the tasks at hand and also to address the "more that can be done" for when you have the time and the inclination go beyond the essentials. It starts with the big picture--an examination of every room and everything you will find within each. The eleven chapters in the "Room by Room" section take you on a tour through the house, focusing on the surfaces and furnishings you might find in any room, and offering strategies for their care and maintenance. Starting with the kitchen, the central staging area in any home, these chapters open with practical space-planning advice, followed by the golden rules of organizing. This information is intended to help contain your belongings and make each room clutter-free and functional. Relevant homekeeping concerns particular to each room are explored in depth--so stain-removal basics appear in "Laundry Room," the best way to clean grout in "Bathroom," and easy sewing repairs in "Utility Spaces." The equipment essential to each room is also addressed, so if you are considering what kind of bathtub to install during a bathroom renovation or whether a gas or electric range would best suit your style of cooking, you will have the information necessary to make such an investment with confidence.
