Granite needs to be protected. This means the application of a sealer is needed to prevent staining and for maintaining the granites appearance. Although granite is a tough stone it’s still recommend that, if used as kitchen bench tops, a chopping board be used (not that cutting on granite will damage it, but it will blunt your knives) also hot cooking implements should not be placed directly from stove or oven onto bench tops as this may cause thermal shock and crack the stone.

Limestone is one of the most versatile stones available. it is used to produce lime, to help extract iron, and is in many concretes. It is a stone with a wide number of uses. In its pure form it is hard enough to be used in almost any application, however it is relatively soft compared to other building stones such as Marble and Granite.

Sandstone is the softest of sedimentary rocks. Like limestone it’s not suitable for Kitchen Bench tops. It has been used in the past, however due to its soft and porous nature it will mark easily and soak up spills, causing staining.

As with Marble, Travertine is soft and porous. It has a sponge like look and heavily pitted surface, which needs filling with putty like substance to make it smooth. Even after this process, it still has fine pinprick like holes over the surface. There are coatings available that completely cover the surface, however it tends to yellow after awhile and is costly. It is rarely used for bench tops.

Back lighting a bench top or splash backs adds a whole new dimension and style to your home. However kitchens are an area of the home where onyx must be treated with special care. Because of the porous nature of this type of stone, it is susceptible to staining and cracking.
