Granite
Created from nature and formed by man, granite has become a popular choice for kitchen and bathroom countertops with a timeless appeal. Granite is an elegant and beautiful material that has a wide range of colors, patterns and finishes to choose from.
Granite is an extremely hard material that can withstand heat and scratches. A sealer must be applied to granite on an annual basis to protect it from staining, as it is porous and can stain without this protection. Also, the seams in a granite countertop are visible. Most granite is polished prior to fabrication, giving it a shiny finish. “Honed” granite is also available, providing a more subtle matte finish.

Customer Testimonial: Simple, Stylish Kitchen Update
"I had a new granite countertop installed through Kitchen Views. I wanted to share a few photos and tell you how happy I am! They were so professional, helpful, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with. I kept my white cabinets (a timeless style in white) and chose the granite and sink at Kitchen Views in Warwick. I have not stopped cooking...loving my new space."
Homeowner, Janice T. of Rhode Island
