Granite is very dense that resists cracking. It is also non-porous as opposed to marble, which means it does not allow water absorption during freezing winter months, neither does it crack during extreme summers.

An alternative to natural stones would be engineered stones that showcase the beauty and aesthetic of marble and granite, but are thin, lightweight, affordable and yet resist extremity. These neither crack easily nor fade.
