WHY Granite?

• Granite qualifies as impervious to water and is actually less absorbent than some solid surface products. Granite is commonly used as building material for high-rise buildings due to its ability to withstand gale force winds and rain.
• Granite is resistant to stains. Generally, any liquid spilled on a granite top, if wiped up within a few minutes, will not stain. However, even water can soak into a granite countertop and leave a dark colored spot but this will evaporate in minutes. Liquids that do not evaporate, such as oils will cause stains if left to soak into the stone. Most stains can be removed. Even oil stains can usually be removed using a poultice or paste that will draw out the oil from the stone.
• Granite will shine years from now just as if it was brand new. Granite is highly scratch resistant and will not show wear from daily use.
• Granite is heat resistant and can withstand the heat of hot pots and pans without damage. Heat from anything short of a blowtorch will not affect your granite.
• Granite is usually competitively priced compared to other high-end surfacing materials. You will be amazed when you compare the price of granite to other popularly famed “luxury surfaces”.Granite offers you an unmatched value with its natural beauty, elegance and longevity.

• Granite is an igneous rock created deep within the earth from magma, cooled slowly under great pressure.
• Granite is a rock composed primarily of three different minerals. The white mineral grains found in granite are feldspar. It is the most abundant mineral found in granite. The light gray, glass-like grains are quartz, and the black, flake-like grains are biotite or black mica.
• Granite is one of the best work surface stones with very dense grain. It takes a highly polished finish, which endures even in inclement environments.
