Nero Africa granite has a dark base colour with grey and white shades, while lighter pressed details add character and depth.
Granite countertops are durable, heat-resistant and will last a very long time with regular and proper care.
PS: Natural stone may contain small spots (2-3), structural variations, or microcracks that can be felt by touch. These are natural characteristics of the stone and do not affect its durability or performance. Due to these features, the product is not subject to replacement. The warranty does not cover microcracks unless they affect the product’s safety or transportability.
The pattern and shade of natural stone may differ from the sample because each piece forms in nature in its own way. You can read more about stone care and cleaning HERE.

Granite is a 100% natural material with a unique color and pattern. Countertops are made from granite quarried from different parts of the world, which is then cut to the desired size and finished along the edges and surface. Granite countertops are durable, heat-resistant and with proper and regular care, can last for many years.
For daily cleaning of a granite countertop, use a damp microfiber cloth, warm water and if needed, a neutral (pH 7) or mildly alkaline (pH 8–10) detergent. It’s best to choose products specifically designed for natural stone, but for everyday maintenance, dishwashing or glass cleaning detergents (e.g., Frosch) are also suitable. Avoid cleaning agents containing acids or bleach. The stone surface is also sensitive to abrasive materials — micro-scratches can be caused by wire scrubbers or even sand particles caught on a cleaning cloth.
All countertops are treated with a protective impregnating agent to ensure long-lasting durability, preventing liquids from penetrating the stone. Depending on usage intensity and the type of granite, we recommend reapplying a specially designed natural stone impregnator every 1–2 years. To check the condition of your stone surface, perform a simple test: drop some hot water on the countertop, let it sit for 10–20 minutes, then wipe it off. If a darker spot remains after wiping, it means the water has absorbed into the stone’s pores, indicating it’s time to reapply the protective treatment. For light-colored granite, if the water beads up and stays on the surface, the countertop is well protected. However, if the water spreads out or starts soaking in, the stone should be treated with a new protective layer.
Granite surfaces should be carefully protected against stains, especially when using lighter stones. Avoid letting chemicals and corrosive substances come into contact with the surface. Please note that polished and leathered finishes can easily show scratches from metal objects. We recommend removing any stains immediately with paper towels, water and detergent to prevent dirt from drying or penetrating the stone. For tougher stains, use special products designed for natural stone. After using such products, we advise rinsing the surfaces again with water and detergent. For advice on suitable products, contact your stone supplier.
Although granite is quite scratch-resistant, we always recommend using cutting boards. Consistently working without a cutting board can damage both your knives and the countertop, causing the surface to dull and increasing the risk of stains. Using cutting boards also helps protect your countertops from scratches. While granite has high heat resistance, it’s still advisable to use trivets for hot pots and pans taken directly from the oven or stove. Consistently placing hot cookware directly on the surface can cause heat damage, leading to dullness and loss of shine. Trivets also protect the stone from scratches caused by rough-bottomed clay pots.
