Modern kitchen granite benchtops from S & N Brothers

For most people, the kitchen is the area which is considered to be the cleanest. Not only is it the place where food is prepared and served, but it is also the area where the members of the family gather and talk. Gone are the days when kitchens were only reserved for the cooking and preparation of food for the family. In these modern times, food is also served in the kitchen, right there and then. It is a must therefore, that the modern kitchen is designed with the most functional stone.

Granite is the ideal stone for modern design. Modern colours to look out for are Universe Black, Antique Brown, Blue Star, Blues in The Night, Bianco Romano, Ivory White as well as Jet Black (in either Polished or Honed finish). Other popular stones to use are Calacatta Honed, Carrara Honed or Statuario Honed marbles.

In a recent study, of all materials tested, granite benchtops retained one of the least amounts of bacteria after cleaning.
