The
term "Granite" is derived from the Latin
word "Granum" meaning "grain" because
of its granular nature. Granite is an
Igneous Stone, primarily made of Quartz(35%),
Feldspar(45%) & Potassium.
Dimensional granite specs include high
load bearing capacity, amenability to
cutting without secondary flaws, ability
to yield thin and large slabs and -
above all - durability.Granite is a
very strong and durable stone. It takes
heavy gloss polish, popularly used as
architectural stone for interior and
exterior walls, floors and monumental

Granite is the most exclusive of all
building stones, and granite slabs and
granite tiles occupy a prominent place
among dimensional stones. Its fascinating
colors, heavy gloss mirror polish and
textural patterns make granite slabs
and granite tiles extremely popular. |
