Granite

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 specifications include high load-bearing capacity, amenability to cut without secondary flaws, ability to yield thin and large slabs, and - above all - durability.
Granite is a very strong and durable stone. Granite tile takes heavy gloss polish, popularly used as architectural stone for interior and exterior walls, granite floor tiles, kitchen countertops, and monumental stone. Granite is the most exclusive of all building stones, and its slabs and tiles occupy a prominent place among dimensional stones.
