Kashmir White granite countertops for a modern, light kitchen
Although Kashmir White granite is not a true granite, it is widely accepted as one due to its properties. It is one of the super white granite available. It strongly resembles marble but has a much less porosity. That is why it is an ideal choice for flooring, staircases, vanity tops and, of course, kitchen countertops. The high aesthetic value of Kashmir White granite countertops is mainly because of the overwhelming appearance of the slabs. The color may vary from dark white to a very pale shade of gray with brown, black or berry-colored garnets.

Kashmir White granite countertops can be blended with ease in various color combinations. The granite creates a light and airy feel to the kitchen and a great advantage is that the slab colors do not vary much in different light conditions.

One of the main problems which many sellers may miss to tell you is the fact Kashmir white is very prone to staining and often the slightest discoloration is very noticeable. Heavy cleaning products are an enemy to the granite, especially the ones based on bleach or other chemicals which react with the stone. It is recommended that you avoid those if you wanted to keep the pristine look of your granite countertop. The maintenance of Kashmir White granite is not different than any other granite. It requires sealing at least once a year, spills should be wiped, and you need to be careful not to place hot pans directly on the countertop.
