Granite is rated among the most favored natural stone surfaces used for floor tile and countertops. Granite adds remarkable aesthetics, dependability and class to any interior or exterior. Granite is formed in millions of years and is one of the durable most covering materials, perfectly suited to the kinds of wear that are common to kitchen areas – heat, abrasion, moisture. Granite has a unique composition of patterns and colors defined by the igneous rock and sundry minerals that define it. The minerals which became suspended in the cooling magma over millions of years make granite one of the hardest surfaces on earth. The features and benefits granite offer in the form of flooring, vanity tops and countertops are much more than just its strength and good looks. Granite is a geological legacy, and a unique decorative addition which adds all manner of value to every property that features it.
For heat, metal abrasion, and other sources of wear, granite is the surface by which all others must be judged. Once a granite countertop is sealed to protect it from moisture, it can last for decades, revealing none of the effects of wear when made a part of weekly maintenance routines. |
