GRANITE

Granite surfaces are highly valued for their unique properties, making them a popular choice for various applications. Here are some key features:

  • Durability: Granite ranks 6-7 on the Mohs scale, making it resistant to scratches, chips, and cracks.

  • Heat Resistance: It can withstand high temperatures, making it ideal for kitchen countertops.

  • Porosity: Granite is naturally porous, so sealing is recommended to prevent water absorption and staining.

  • Aesthetic Appeal: Granite comes in a wide range of colors and patterns, ensuring no two pieces are exactly alike.

  • Composition: It is primarily composed of quartz, feldspar, and mica, giving it a coarse-grained texture.
