What is Granite?:

Granite is composed of quartz, feldspars, micas and traces of various other minerals which fused (interlocking crystals called a crystalline structure) into the molten rock. These varied minerals give granites their beautiful variety of colors as the liquid mass is formed. Due to its hard, dense nature and beauty , granite is one of the most popular natural stone available today. It has a broad range of elegant patterns and colors making it ideal for application either outside or inside the home. Granite is the most maintenance-free, durable and versatile of the commercial stones.

How do I care for Granite Surfaces:

• New Installations: Granite can have four main finishes: polished (shiny), honed (matte), flamed or brushed (textured). The polished and honed surfaces are flat and smooth. The flamed and brushed surfaces are flat and textured. The polished surface is shiniest, while the brushed surface reflects the least amount of light. The back and sides have a sawn finish. Whichever surface type you choose for your installation, it must be sealed properly to enhance the beauty and protection of your investment. We can do this for you at reasonable cost.
• Refinish/Restore: Granite is a highly dense material and relatively porous so it can get stained if a spill is not cleaned quickly. Sealing the surface with a water-based sealant is therefore recommended to protect the granite from water patches and stains. Sealing can be done once a year or once every two years depending on the usage of the surface. We can do this for you whenever required.
