Granite Tile
The word granite comes from the Latin granum, a grain, in reference
to the coarse-grained structure of such a crystalline rock.
Granite Tile is designed for both residential and commercial
applications. It is ideally suited for extreme conditions, as it
resists wear, deterioration and weathering, while maintaining its
natural beauty and finish indefinitely. Granite is nearly always
massive, hard and tough, and it is for this reason it has gained
widespread use as a construction stone.
Granite was used for construction of the ancient Egyptian pyramids.
Today Granite has been extensively used as a dimension stone and as
flooring tiles in public and commercial buildings and monuments.
With increasingly acid rain in parts of the world, granite has begun
to supplant marble as a monument material, since it is much more
durable. Polished granite has been a popular choice for kitchen
countertops due to its high durability and aesthetic qualities.
Granite tile is a natural granite stone product. Granite is an
igneous rock, formed from liquid magma, cooled slowly to form a
substance approaching the hardness and durability of diamonds.
Granite’s three essential minerals are feldspar, quartz, and mica.
These minerals occur in different proportions, giving piece granite
its own color, texture and structural characteristics. Granite is
usually a white or buff color and is medium to coarse grained,
occasionally with some individual crystals larger than the
groundmass forming a rock known as porphyry. (Porphyry is a very
hard igneous rock consisting of large-grained crystals, such as
feldspar or quartz.)
Granites can be pink to dark gray or even black, depending on their
chemistry and mineralogy. The Black Galaxy granites from India are
world known for their elegance.
