Design Of Your New Granite Countertops
Certainly, with many new products on the market the industry may want to take away the simplicity of designing with granite. So much versatility in each slab can make it very easy to design with. Despite this it can also be a challenge since you are not able to haul around large pieces of the exact slab you select. However, this can always be remedied by small samples and the basic knowledge that any and all granite generally work with all designs. This is a natural stone and with that said, most slabs will pull all of the natural tones that earth provides for us. Not to say that you should go wild and leave it up to someone else to make the final decision for you. We encourage everyone who is selecting granite to view their slabs. Something that many of the other surfaces do not require.
Fabrication of Granite Countertops
If you did not know already that your new granite countertops will be cut and polished with commercial grade diamonds, this is the time to find out. Besides, being one of the hardest countertop surfaces, imagine the pressure that is required to cut into it. Eventually, after all the years that it has been fabricated, small commercial grade diamonds have been used to get the cuts we need as well as the shine. With all this noted, all granite slabs are a little different and will also require caution to make sure the tools that are used are able to provide us with the exact result we are looking for.

A Little History On Granite Countertops
Granite has been used for centuries in all different kinds of applications. From an actual building material to the fine details of a carving piece, to how we use it today as granite countertops. Additionally, there are numerous type of granite. As we are not geologists, we do not want to go into the full depth of the type of granite. We will just say that most of the types that are used for countertops will be with the most familiar names such as basalt, shiest and even quartzite (Not to be confused with Quartz – the man made product.) Granite comes in a wide range of colors, with new ones being found and mined ever day. This is what keeps granite forever unique and fun to work with. Considering that granite is a natural product made within the earth, it is very much heat resistant and super durable. Ask us about some of the testing we have done on it. 🙂
