Natural Beauty That Lasts
Each granite slab features unique patterns formed over millions of years. Unlike manufactured products, your granite kitchen benchtop will never look identical to anyone else’s.
Low Maintenance Requirements
Granite benchtops need minimal care compared to marble or other porous stones. Wipe surfaces with warm soapy water and a soft cloth for daily cleaning. Periodic sealing every two to three years keeps your benchtop stain resistant.

How to Clean & Maintain Your Granite Benchtop or Countertop
Proper care ensures your granite benchtops remain beautiful for a lifetime. Follow these guidelines from our expert team:
Daily Cleaning
Wipe your granite kitchen benchtop with warm water and mild soap using a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, acidic cleaners, or abrasive scrubbers that dull the polished surface.
Spill Management
Granite benchtops handle spills well, but wipe up wine, oil, and citrus immediately. Though granite is more resistant than marble, prompt cleanup keeps your kitchen benchtop looking its best long-term.
Sealing Schedule
Most granite kitchen benchtops benefit from sealing every 2–3 years. Darker granites like Indian Jet Black rarely need it; lighter stones like Colonial White benefit most from regular resealing.
Avoiding Damage
Granite benchtops resist heat and scratching better than most surfaces, but use trivets for very hot pots and avoid dragging cast iron directly across your kitchen benchtop to preserve the finish.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How much do granite benchtops cost in Sydney?
Granite benchtop pricing varies based on stone type, slab size, edge profile, and installation complexity. Visit our Greenacre or Beresfield showroom to view available options and receive accurate pricing for your project. Our team provides transparent quotes with no hidden costs.
Are granite benchtops better than marble for kitchens?
Granite benchtops offer superior durability and lower maintenance compared to marble benchtops. Granite resists heat, scratches, and stains more effectively, making it ideal for busy Sydney kitchens. Marble suits those who appreciate its classic elegance and are willing to provide extra care.
Do granite benchtops need sealing?
Most granite benchtops benefit from periodic sealing every two to three years. Black granite and dense varieties may need less frequent sealing. Proper sealing keeps surfaces stain resistant and protects your investment for decades.
Can granite benchtops withstand heat from hot pots?
Yes. Granite forms under extreme heat and pressure, making it naturally heat resistant. You can place hot cookware directly on granite surfaces without damage. We still recommend trivets for extremely hot items to maximise your benchtop’s longevity.
How long do granite benchtops last?
With proper care, granite benchtops last a lifetime. Many homes feature original granite surfaces 50+ years old still looking beautiful. This durability makes granite an excellent long-term investment for Sydney homeowners planning kitchen renovations.
Is granite good for outdoor kitchens?
Granite excels in outdoor applications. Blue Moon Granite is particularly popular for Sydney BBQ areas and alfresco kitchens. Its weather resistance, durability, and unique appearance make it ideal for Australian outdoor living spaces.
Is granite good for kitchen benchtops?
Granite is one of the best choices for busy kitchens. It’s heat resistant, highly scratch resistant, and with periodic sealing (every 2–3 years), it’s very forgiving day-to-day. Unlike marble, it won’t etch from lemon juice or vinegar. For active families who cook regularly, granite is hard to beat.
