When maintained correctly, black granite surfaces retain their depth of colour, polish, and clarity for decades, even in high-traffic environments.
- Seal black granite periodically as recommended to maintain stain resistance and preserve the depth of colour.
- Use a mild, pH-neutral cleaner or soft cloth for daily cleaning; avoid acidic or abrasive agents.
- Wipe spills promptly, especially oil- and acid-based liquids, to minimise etching or dulling.
- Use trivets and chopping boards to protect against extreme heat and direct cutting on the surface.

Frequently Asked Questions about Black Granite

Granites with darker hues, like black, are typically more costly than lighter shades such as white. This is because black granite is frequently regarded as rare and highly desirable.

Black granite can still be a premium option even when it is less expensive than certain white granites. The total cost depends on the specific variety, the quantity required, and finishing details.
3. What is the lifespan of black granite?

Telephone Black Granite and Absolute Black Granite are essentially the same material. Telephone Black is generally used to denote material for the Indian market, while Absolute Black is used more commonly for export-quality material.
