Suede/Leathered Granite Countertops: What You Need to Know

Are you having a hard time finding the right material for your kitchen countertop? Because there are many countertop materials available in the market, it can be a bit difficult to select the right one that suits your needs and tastes. But with granite countertops, you’ll know that it’s a premium product, especially if it’s made and installed by reputable contractors, such as Granite Works. Leathered or suede granite countertops are a good choice to consider.

The Beauty Behind Leathered Granite

Granite is a popular choice for many homeowners when it comes to countertops. You can get them in different colors, styles and finishes. Some finishes include polished, caressed, sandblasted, flamed and sawn. But if you want a more subtle and textured surface instead of the usual polished look, you won’t go wrong with suede granite.

Also known as leathered granite, suede granite offers a more unique appearance. With its trademark rough surface and slightly matte look of a leather finish, it’s usually sealed before installation to preserve its surface. With its beautiful and elegant visual appeal, suede granite countertops give a rustic feeling to a modern kitchen design. 

Maintenance Tips to Keep in Mind

Unlike polished or honed stone countertops, suede granite isn’t as tedious and complicated when it comes to regular maintenance. One of suede granite’s great benefits is its ability to hide stains, watermarks and smudges. But like all granite countertops, regular cleaning and upkeep are recommended to keep it looking new and well-maintained.
