| Description: |
The Granite Stone is considered as the most aesthetic, eco friendly construction material known to human kind. A hard coarse-grained rock and one of the most beautiful natural stones in the world, granite consists mainly of quartz, alkali feldspar, and plagioclase feldspar, which contribute to its color - white, pink, or light gray. The dark brown, dark-green, or black is due to the presence of such minerals as hornblende and biotite mica. The molecules of these minerals entwine in a way that makes granite hard, difficult to damage, generally impossible to scratch, heat resistant and durable, making it an ideal choice for flooring, wall cladding, pillars, kitchen counters, vanity tops, paved paths and the outdoors.
Granite creates a luxurious, spacious feel in any home, getting its glossy finish from highly powered polishing tools and fine grit diamonds. Granite is available in honed (unpolished) and rough textured (flamed) finishes as well, to suit varying decor tastes.
With the advances in technology creating a revolution of sorts in quarrying, fabrication and expanding applications, costs are reducing everyday, making granite an affordable alternative to manmade stone industries that generate tons of in- disposable wastes.
Granite's inherent qualities make it very versatile, cost effective and ideal for use in many applications. Its ability to resist bending force, flexural strength, for instance, is high, between 100 and 400 lbs per square inch. This factor is vital in establishing the permissible span of a dimension stone panel in a given thickness subjected to given loads and allows use of granite panels in a wide range of thicknesses (30 mm to above 50mm) for many applications, spans and loads. This becomes cost-efficient as it reduces both curtain wall cost and dead load for the building frame. In addition, its exceptional dimensional ability, its tolerance to constant changes in temperature and moisture without a significant change in its size, make it ideal for use outdoors and in many industrial applications.
