Granite is drilled and blasted from the quarry in large blocks, cut into slabs by a gang saw, and polished to uniform thickness by automatic polishing machines. The size of the slabs will vary from quarry to quarry, but are rarely more than 10 ft. long. It is cut and fabricated into countertops using diamond saw bands, blades or drill bits.

Granite is crystalline in structure, so it always has tiny pits or spaces between the various mineral crystals. They are not visible prior to polishing, and usually remain unobtrusive on finished pieces once the surface is highly polished. Granite also contains natural fissures that may appear to be cracks, but they are not structural defects and will not impair the function or durability of the material. They occur naturally and are considered to be part of the beauty of stone.

Granite is not recommended to customers who prefer surfaces that are perfectly uniform in color and pattern, those that are totally free of blemishes. For those individuals, engineered stone would be the preferred choice. However, the natural look far exceeds any artificial surface we have seen. Therefore, we only install natural granite surfaces.
