Popular Choice Among Builders

Granite

Granite is a naturally occurring magmatic rock, formed in the Earth’s crust by way of slow solidification over millions of years. Extremely sturdy, it resists abrasion and weathering very well. It has been used as a building material throughout human history, with monuments carved from natural formations and buildings composed of massive blocks queried nearby.

In modern times as well, granite has been a popular choice among builders and designers. It is appreciated not only for its unparalleled hardness but also for the wide array of decorative options that it provides. Slabs of granite come in a wide variety of patterns and colors, fabricated and installed with great care. Whether looking for a fireplace, a set of stairs, or a kitchen countertop, you simply won’t go wrong with granite.
