Titanium Black granite: what to know

Granite asks very little day to day. It handles heat, knives and acids, it is sealed at install, and it usually goes years between reseals. Darker granites look especially good in a honed or leathered finish, which hides fingerprints and water spots. It is also the stone we most often recommend for outdoor kitchens.

In a kitchen, granite is the stone that asks least: heat, knives and spills are all fine once it is sealed.

Common questions

Is granite good outdoors?

Yes. Granite handles heat, weather and sun without fading, which is why it is our usual recommendation for outdoor kitchens.

Can I put a hot pan on granite?

Granite handles heat very well. A trivet is still a good habit, but a hot pan will not hurt it.
