Granite Formation Process
Granite is formed around the earth’s crust over thousands of years. This ingenious ancient mineral is created through the process of liquid magma gradually heating off under extreme amounts of pressure through tectonic plates. This solidification process gives granite its trademark durability and beauty by allowing distinct color formations to be formed within the base material.
Not only are granite countertops a durable addition to your kitchen appliances, but they are also a stunning element that speaks for itself regardless of its surroundings with its wide spectrum of color options. Simply put, our granite countertops will bring an atmosphere of elegance and beauty to your kitchen.
