Granite Facts :
FORMATION
Granite is generally produced by magma solidifying under extreme pressure. When magma rises, due to being lighter than surrounding rocks, it begins to cool. This cooling happens slowly, and crystals are formed beneath the surface of the earth. This produces a tightly interlocked structure, which is why granite is such a strong stone. It is comprised mostly of quartz, alkali feldspar, and plagioclase feldspar. Granite makes up a lot of the earths crust, and is generally revealed to the surface when continental shifts cause breaks in the landscape that allow it to be seen.
GRANITE
- Cleans easily with mild soap and hot water
- Granite is one of the hardest stones, making it extremely durable,
- Polished granite worktops varieties are scratch resistant and difficult to stain,
- Variation in stone is natural and makes each piece a unique kitchen,
- Many colours and patterns based on the mineral composition in each piece,
- Cookware can go from oven or stove directly onto the granite without damaging it.
Adds value to any home.
