Get the Look You Crave with Leathered Granite Countertops

Leathered Granite

Are you looking for a unique countertop option that adds style and sophistication to your kitchen? Leathered granite countertops are an excellent choice for adding a unique and sophisticated texture that gives your home a high-end and modern look. There’s no need to worry about sacrificing durability for aesthetics since it can withstand daily wear and tear. In this article, we will share with you what makes leathered granite countertops special, the process of creating a leathered finish, the benefits of using leathered granite, and some design ideas to help you give your home an upgrade.

What is Leathered Granite?

Leathered granite is created by applying a high-pressure water flow to the surface of the granite slab, then the edge is finely honed. The combination of the high-pressure water flow and honing process creates a unique rough texture that has a leathery look and feel. The finish typically highlights the natural beauty of the stone and showcases its unique pattern and color variations. The result is a matte finish that is less shiny and polished than traditional granite.

Benefits of Leathered Granite Countertops

The texture and overall appearance of leathered granite countertops make a statement in any space. The unique and leathery texture means that they’re less likely to show fingerprints, smudges, watermarks, or scratches. This makes them a great choice for high-traffic kitchens and bathrooms. Additionally, leathered granite typically requires less maintenance compared to polished granite, as there’s no need to constantly clean and seal it.

Durability

There are no durability concerns when it comes to leathered granite countertops. They are tough and long-lasting, and since they’re scratch-resistant, the surface quality is retained over time. This is especially important in heavily used areas, where wear and tear are significant. The only thing that needs to be considered when it comes to leathered granite countertops is that they’re not ideal for chopping or food preparation, because it catches food residue and requires additional cleaning efforts.

Design Ideas

Leathered granite is a versatile design element that can be incorporated into any style kitchen. For a modern and minimalistic approach, choose a black leathered granite countertop paired with sleek cabinetry and stainless steel appliances. For a rustic look, consider going with a warm-toned leathered granite countertop alongside wood cabinets and brass hardware. If you prefer a classic, timeless, and elegant design, opt for a creamy-hued leathered granite slab atop white shaker-style cabinets. The beauty of leathered granite is that its unique texture and color variations can complement traditional, transitional, or even contemporary design styles.
