Custom Granite for Ottawa Homes

 

Like many other natural stones, the commercial definition of "granite” is used to describe any feldspar-bearing rock that has interlocking crystals that that can be seen with the naked eye. The term "granite" stems from the words "grain" or "granule"; these are readily found in granites along with granite's other composition elements.  In granite fabrication, the term ‘granite' encompasses other intrusive igneous rocks such as gneiss, syenite, anorthosite and granodiorite, to name a few. Granite is a very hard material that is said to be easier to maintain than marble.  It is considered one of the hardest stones and used to be avoided by most fabricating companies because of the difficulty of working with this material.

 

 

Today there are better supplies of affordable machinery and abrasives technologies, which have all but eliminated the previous difficulties many fabricating companies experienced. The result is that granite has become a very popular material for home accents!

 

Custom Granite is any granite piece you choose for your home, be it traditional granite, or exotic. When obtained from a top marble and granite distributer, custom granite can be ordered in both slab and tile for your custom pieces. Some of the traditional granite selection includes types like;

Custom granite can be used for countertops, tile floors, stair treads and more, and can complement any décor!

 

 

Granite, especially granite that has been purchased from a top importer and distributor is an amazing choice for home accents because of the hardness of the minerals that comprise it. This hardness far surpasses that of the instruments that are used on them, which makes most granites extremely scratch resistant. Other wonderful attributes that make granite a popular material is its ability to withstand temperatures of 480 degrees Fahrenheit as well as it being practically impervious to staining and/or retaining bacteria. The types of impregnating repellents that are used can further reduce the stain resistance of granite. Granite is practically indestructible with regard to ordinary use and there are specific products designed that will clean, seal, and polish it to give the impression that the granite has been recently installed.
