Granite
An Excellent Choice For Heavily Used Surfaces
Granite for Every Design Vision
With a wide variety of colors and finishes available, granite is adaptable to nearly any architectural or landscape design application.
Versatile Applications and Timeless Appeal
Granite is one of the most popular natural stones on the market, with new resources continually being discovered and developed worldwide. Its colors and finishes are available to suit almost any landscape design or building requirement.
Unmatched Strength and Durability
Granite is widely used for exterior cladding and pavement material due to its inherent strength, abrasion resistance, and superior weathering durability. Architects often select granite for municipal curbs, where decades of vehicular abuse highlight its robustness. In northern climates, granite’s resistance to snow-melting chemicals makes it a top choice.
A Hardworking Stone for Interior Applications
Known as one of the hardest dimension stone types, granite has become increasingly popular in residential interiors. Its striking array of colors, combined with durability, longevity, and economy, makes it ideal for kitchen countertops, tabletops, floors, and other heavily used surfaces.
Low Absorption and Stain Resistance
Granite’s absorption rates (% water, by weight) range from 0.05% to 0.40%, leaving minimal room for staining agents to penetrate. Impregnating repellents are sometimes applied to further enhance its resistance to staining.
