There are many reasons to choose granite as your countertop
surface. Among the best are:
Crystallized under tremendous pressure deep underground,
granite is a naturally formed stone composed mainly of quartz
and feldspars that is mined from quarries around the world.
Every granite countertop can be considered a limited edition
because there is a finite supply of granite at any given
quarry.
Granite is a tangled labyrinth full of Mother Nature’s
unique intricacies. The complex swirls and veining in our
exotics series can add a great deal of character to any
countertop. Solid surface and quartz materials lack the
non-uniform flow of sophisticated patterns and highly detailed
grain structures.
Granite is hard and highly scratch resistant. Due to its
composition of quartz and feldspars (7 and 6 on the Hardness
Scale, respectively), it is more durable than softer stones
such as marble or travertine and man-made materials such
as acrylics, polyesters or laminates. The glossy finish
will endure years of use in even the busiest kitchens without
being refinished.
Granite may be more affordable than you think. Our stocked
program not only keeps turnaround times shorter but allows
us to charge for just the material actually used to produce
your countertop. This means you won’t end up spending
money on material that is not part of your design.
Naturally resistant to both acids and alkalis, granite
will not etch from common foods, beverages or household
cleaners like other types of stones. And, with a quick application
of sealer once or twice a year, it will resist most stains
and promote a clean, safe kitchen.
