Granite is one of the most durable natural stones, but under certain conditions, it can crack. The most common reasons include excessive weight on unsupported areas, sudden temperature changes, and improper installation. For instance, placing heavy objects near weak points like overhangs or cutouts for sinks can lead to stress fractures over time.
To prevent cracks, it’s essential to ensure proper support, avoid direct heat exposure, and have professionals handle the installation.
