You will want to choose granite since it is sturdy and rock hard. It has been described as the second hardest natural material (after diamond of course). It can take a hit or two without damage. Given their hardness, granite worktops will handle heat very well. Despite granite countertops being a bit porous, it will resist staining and bacteria if you have it sealed.

Installing granite countertop is not the perfect DIY project but if you really want to do it yourself, here are a few tips;

• Take your measurements carefully. Be sure to create an allowance for the countertop overhang and a bull-nose or other style on the finished edge. You can call a fabricator to take the measurements on their own;
• Allow 3 to 4 weeks for delivery;
• Prepare the kitchen and more so the cabinets to receive the Granite Countertops. Ensure that the plywood does not overhang the outside dimension of the cabinet;
• Join the Granite Seams and level the seams for the slabs;
• Glue Granite Countertops Down and glue the seams too.
