About Granite
Granite can maintain its beauty and lustre indefinitely and is the second hardest stone next to diamonds!
Granite’s rich colours, stiffness, and density make it an ideal choice for kitchens, bathrooms, reception desks, bar tops, and staircases; as well as exterior applications for example, outdoor kitchens particularly barbeque areas.
Many stylish patterns and colours make granite the most versatile and trendy of all stones.
Granite is a light-coloured igneous rock; it forms from the slow crystallization of magma below Earth’s surface. The composition is mainly quartz, and feldspar with minor amounts of mica, amphiboles, and other minerals.
The mineral composition usually gives granite a red, pink, grey, or white colour, with the addition of dark mineral grains visible throughout the rock.
Granite is also well known for its many world-famous natural exposures! These include:
Stone Mountain in Georgia
Yosemite Valley in California
Mount Rushmore in South Dakota
White Mountains in New Hampshire
In most cases, granite can be identified by visible particles at the surface of the stone.
When it comes to the colour and appearance of natural stone, you’ll find marble normally shows “veins” or high concentrations, while the minerals in granite will typically appear as small flecks distributed uniformly in the stone.
We’re so fortunate to be able to construct, carve, and decorate through the use of natural stone.
Granite’s durability and robust resistance to physical and chemical weathering make it ideal for performing artistic work.
From a homeowner’s perspective, having a piece of artwork in this form is the best way to bring earth, nature, and beauty into your living environment.
We recommend the use of granite for outdoor purposes, as the resistance to weathering is far superior to engineered stone.
