“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 designer. Synthetic solid surface
materials are no match for the richness, depth, and stellar
performance of real granite. 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.
Most important:
by choosing a granite countertop and island, you not only
give your kitchen timeless performance and beauty, you increase
the value of your home.”
