Black granite countertops characteristics
Black granite countertops are a design favourite because the deep, even colour reads as both classic and modern and works with almost any cabinetry, wall, and floor scheme. As a natural stone, black granite is dense and durable, so a countertop resists scratching, staining, and heat while keeping its colour for decades. The dark surface elevates the look of a room, creating elegant contrast against pale walls or a tone-on-tone effect in darker interiors. With consistent colour from slab to slab, large countertop runs and bathroom vanities look uniform and refined.
Product Information
Properties and finishes of black granite countertops
Black granite is rated roughly 6 to 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, giving countertops outstanding resistance to scratches, heat, and everyday wear. A high polish produces the signature glossy black surface that reflects light and is easy to clean, while a honed finish offers a contemporary matte look that softens fingerprints and water spots. Leathered finishes add subtle texture for a tactile, designer feel. Cut from genuine Egyptian granite, every countertop is sealed before delivery and supplied in colour-matched slabs for seamless installation.

Black granite countertops: frequently asked questions
Do black granite countertops scratch easily? No. Granite is one of the hardest countertop materials, so it resists scratches from normal kitchen and bathroom use. As with any stone, a cutting board is still recommended to protect both the surface and your knives.
Are black granite countertops good for bathrooms? Yes. Sealed black granite is water and stain resistant, making it ideal for vanity tops, surrounds, and shower thresholds where moisture and toiletries are common.
How do I keep black granite countertops looking new? Wipe with a mild pH-neutral cleaner and reseal once a year. A honed finish hides water spots and smudges, while a polished finish keeps its glossy depth with simple regular cleaning.
