  • After granite is put in, how long should you wait to use it?

    It's best to wait about 24 hours, in our professional experience. You can usually start using your granite countertops in Colorado Springs, CO pretty soon after they are installed, but waiting a full day helps the glue stick the granite to the cabinets.

  • What are typical overhang lengths for granite countertops?

    When it comes to granite countertops in Colorado Springs, CO, the usual overhang is 1.5 inches, in our professional experience. This is the same for other types of countertops, too. If you have a home bar, the overhang is typically around 8 inches, according to our experts.

  • How far can a granite countertop reach between two supports?

    Granite countertops can usually stretch up to 36 inches without needing extra support, in our professional experience. This is fine as long as the stone is held up on both ends. Our team says that when two pieces of granite come together at a corner, they need some extra support to make sure everything stays strong. Reach out today if you need professional countertop installation in Colorado Springs, CO.

  • How long can a granite countertop be without a seam?

    Granite countertops can be big, but they do have size limits! Granite slabs come in various sizes, usually between 50 to 86 inches tall and 90 to 140 inches long, in our professional experience. If your countertop is longer than the standard size of the slab, you'll need to add a seam to connect the pieces. Choose SOCO Surfaces for your countertop installation in Colorado Springs, CO.

  • Is Windex safe to use on granite?

    Granite countertops are usually coated with a sealant that helps them stay shiny and resist stains. Because of this, you should steer clear of using anything that is too acidic or too basic on the granite. Using vinegar, Windex, or bleach can make the granite lose its shine and damage the sealant. A simple mix of soap and water is a much better choice for cleaning your granite countertops in Colorado Springs, CO.
