- What is Granite?
Granite is a coarse grained crystalline igneous rock composed
primarily of quartz and feldspar. It forms from slowly cooling
magma (silicate melt) that is subjected to extreme pressures
deep beneath the earth's surface.
With public awareness increasingly turning to the use of natural
materials in the home, Granite has become the countertop of
choice for today's kitchen remodeler/designer. Unlike laminates
and solid-surface materials, a hot frying pan has no effect on
granite's mirror like finish. The diamond-like hardness of granite
makes it virtually impervious to abrasions, stains, and extreme
heat.
In choosing a granite countertop and island, you not only give
your kitchen timeless performance and beauty, you increase the
value of your home.
