granite
why choose granite?
Granite is formed by the solidification of magma in high temperature and high-pressure conditions. Granites are extremely compact and have high hardness (6-7 on the Mohs scale) and mechanical resistance values.
Granites can be predominantly white, pink, or grey in colour, depending on their mineralogy. The word “granite” comes from the Latin granum, a grain, in reference to the coarse-grained structure of such a holocrystalline rock.
granite is the most resilient stone
on the market and is thus able to resist very high temperatures. These fire- and heat-resistant properties are brought to light when granite is used as kitchen countertops, since they can be subjected to direct heat from kitchen utensils without altering their surface.
Granite is resistant to wear, exposure to atmospheric agents and pollution; granites are widely used in the modern building industry, especially for flooring/paving and monuments.
