Granite
Granite is an igneous
rock and an important structural and decorative stone with very low
maintenance cost. It's used for immense structural work due to its high
compressive strength and durability. Granite's rich colors, stiffness
and density, make it an ideal choice for flooring, counter tops,
vanities as well as exterior applications. The best grades are
extremely resistant to weathering.
