Most people
put granite in their home because of the incredible natural
beauty of the stone. Itís almost a bonus that itís the most
durable surface available - granite never wears out. A granite
countertop adds value to your home and holds it. There are hundreds
of colors and textures of granite on the market today with
something for every decor from the ultra modern to rustic.
Quarries exist all over the globe with each one producing a stone
which is unique to that particular location. The granites the we
have best access to originate from South America, Africa, Europe,
Canada, and the United States.
Granite can withstand extremely high temperatures and is very
difficult to scratch. It takes something like diamond, carbide, or
another piece of granite to scratch most granites. Because of its
extreme hardness it makes a poor surface to cut on because it dulls
knives so quickly. Granite is, however, a perfect surface for preparation
of pastries as good cooks will attest to.
