What is Granite?

Granite is an igneous rock formed from the slow crystallization of magma deep beneath the Earth's surface. This natural process creates one of the hardest and most durable countertop materials available today.

Composed primarily of quartz, feldspar, and mica, granite offers exceptional strength and resistance to heat, scratches, and stains. Each slab features unique mineral patterns and color variations that showcase millions of years of geological formation.

Known for its reliability and timeless appeal, granite has been a favorite choice for countertops for decades, offering both practical performance and natural beauty that enhances any space.
