More about Granite...Granite is an igneous rock and is one of the most hard wearing of all natural materials. It is formed as a result of the slow crystallisation of moltern magma, deep in the earth's crust. The minerals which make up granite include quartz, felspars and various mafic minerals; the size, distribution and precise chemistry of which give the granite its distinctive, varied and beautiful colours. The result of these factors is a material as incredibly practical as it is aesthetically diverse; a material ideally suited for the creation of kitchen worksurfaces and bar/counter tops both for commercial and residential environments. |
