Granite offers beauty, easy care and durability. Granite is often found in upscale and sophisticated residences, palaces and hotels throughout the world due to its texture and luster. Natural stone provides the look and feel of elegance through a quality and strength that will never be reached by other materials.
Next to diamonds, granite is the strongest stone in the world. So, like diamonds, granite is forever!
In natural hard surfaces like granite, a certain amount of "movement" or grain is usually expected. Many people find this flow and blending of colors to be the most compelling reason for using genuine stone.
What is Granite?
Granite is an igneous rock created deep within the earth from magma, cooled slowly under great pressure. It is the hardest stone after the diamond, with very dense grain, making it virtually impervious to stain. It takes a highly polished finish, which will endure even in inclement environments. There is a broad spectrum of granite colors ranging from nearly pure white to nearly pure black. During its formation, granite may also have been infused with other minerals providing patterned movement as well as color.
