Top 6 Myths about Granite

Are you considering new countertops for your home? Whether you're looking for something to give your kitchen a new look, or simply want a high quality housing will last for years down the road, granite can be an ideal solution. As it has grown in popularity In recent years, there have been many questions about granite, durability and quality. Here are the top six myths about granite - and the truth behind them.

Myth: The granite stain.

Truth: This is perhaps one of the biggest myths surrounding granite. The material is particularly resistant to stains, even more than other synthetic materials such as plastic laminates and solid surfaces. In fact, the architects been used as surface granite cladding on commercial buildings, as they can withstand the wear of the elements while preserving its natural beauty.

Myth: Granite will lose its luster over time.

Truth: While this is true for marble, which is not the same for granite because it is a dense substance. Only a few materials are harder than granite, including diamonds, so you'll often see diamond pads used in polished granite. Daily wear abrasion is not enough to dull the granite surface, so your countertop will last many years down the road.

Myth: Granite contains harmful bacteria.

Truth: The granite is no less than other medical supplies, although this has been a common misconception. Some believe that germs can hide in the crevices of granite. However, the Center for Disease Control has confirmed that no no evidence of people get sick from bacteria in granite. The substance has also been deemed safe by the hospitality industry and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Occupational.

Myth: Once grated or minced, granite can not be repaired.

Fact: The reason granite that many can not make it because they do not break easily or frequently - so they are not only aware of how to fix it. In the unlikely event that chip or crack (Which usually happens to be beaten by a heavy object) can be repaired using epoxy resins, colored. As for scratches, this is almost impossible to do in the granite. If it does happen, can be easily removed without showing traces of imperfection.

Myth: Granite and marble are essentially the same material.

Truth: The granite and marble are similar in the sense that both are natural stones can be polished. Apart from this, are very different. Marble is formed from oceanic deposits and compressed under pressure, or metamorphosis. Granite, however, is an igneous rock that cools and hardens under the surface of the earth.

Myth: Granite requires a lot of maintenance.

Fact: Natural stone is classified # 1 in cleaning compared with six other counters, based on a study by the Hospitality Institute of Technology and Management. The granite should be cleaned mild soap and water every week or so. Apart from this, the only maintenance required is a new application of a penetrating sealer once a year - it takes just 15 minutes.

Description

Enjoy your favorite waffles done to perfection! The round waffle plates let you make 1 big waffle for yourself or split it into 4 triangular sections for sharing. Lifting your waffle is easy and convenient with the nonstick plates. Pour as little or as much as you want of syrup with the extra-deep grids in your waffle.

A thick, fluffy, 7-1/4-inch-diameter Belgian waffle is already divided into four sections and ready to be shared when it comes out of this handsome waffle maker. That's because the grids' dividers are high enough to separate the sections. The grids are nonstick, meaning they readily release the four-piece waffle and easily wipe clean. A ready light shines when the waffle maker is properly heated to accept the batter and shines again when the waffle is cooked. With its chrome housing and stay-cool black synthetic handles, this 650-watt appliance looks great on the counter. Afterward, the cord wraps around the hinge, plus you can stand the waffle maker upright for compact storage. It measures 8 inches wide, 3-1/2 inches high, and 11-1/2 inches deep and carries a one-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

Features

  • Makes 7-1/4-inch-diameter Belgian waffle in four sections
  • Nonstick cooking grids wipe quickly clean
  • Light shows waffle maker is preheated, then shows waffle is done
  • Chrome housing, with stay-cool black synthetic handles
  • Stands upright for compact storage
