Granite is a beautiful and durable stone that is often used in homes. It is a well-loved material due to resistance to multiple types of damage, including heat, scratch, and stain. Even though it is a naturally occurring stone, there is no shortage of colors and patterns available for purchase, with over 600 on Marble.com. Granite is typically used on kitchen countertops, vanity tops, fireplace surrounds, and even outdoor decor.

Some brands like Silestone require special cleaning.

As such a popular stone, many wonder how they have encountered the material in multiple different textures. The answer is simple: granite can be customized to different finishes. These finishes can help to bring more character to your countertops. For example, a more shiny, high-gloss finish can make the countertop feel more luxurious, while a stone with visible texture can make the countertop feel more natural.

The most popular finishes available for granite countertops include the following: honed, polished, and leathered. There are also a number of textures that granite can be finished in that are typically used for other areas in the home, such as fireplace or pool surrounds.
