Granite Countertops

Best in Decorative

Granite is the most durable of all stones. Its diamond like hardness makes this unique material the most favorable when choosing high traffic surfaces like kitchens and bathroom counters. Granite can be found to be unique and lively in its range of movements and color schemes, without two stones being identically alike. At the same time granite will come in uniform and constant patterns. Whichever style of granite you choose, there is surely a granite that will fit your project and your personality. Granite does not scratch and can be used to cut on. Granite is heat resistant and the least porous of all stones. Simply put, it lasts!

We offer a variety of natural stone granite slab counters and tile products that represent the very best in decorative natural stone available today.

Installation

Sample granite countertop

Granite tile is typically installed using a layer of "thin set epoxy" to bond the stone to a wood or concrete backing or structure. A slip sheet is often used between the primary structure and the granite stone to allow for a degree of torsional relief desired due to dissimilar expansion and contraction properties between the stone and the supporting structure.

When installing tile for countertops and similar applications it is recommended that the tile be spaced using a 1/32 or 1/16 inch spacer between each tile and filled with a matching epoxy grout for maximum stain resistance. Once installed, the stone should be sealed using a suitable "high gloss stone penetrant" sealer to provide added highlight and vibrancies to the granite material as well as provide additional protection from stain or discoloration.
