Granite Countertops Info
Granite is a natural stone, quarried from large igneous stone deposits found around the world. It is a hard stone, measuring between 6 and 7 on the Mohs hardness scale. When the stone is ground and polished into slabs for use as a finish surface material for countertops, backsplashes and other applications, it takes on a smooth surface with rich luster.
Granite is comprised of many different minerals that give each countertop slab a unique and attractive appearance. For example, granite high in feldspar will have rich red or pink highlights. Mica produces brown or black veining while quartz gives pink, white or black hues to the stone. The variations throughout the stone are considered desirable since they give the slab character and differentiate it from others.
Granite is a favorite throughout the country for countertop installations. It is a 100% natural material, is quite hard and resistant to scratches and dings, as well as resistant to heat damage from hot pans, etc. Granite countertops have many design options including color(s), veining, slab thickness, edge treatments, and more.
