The use of granite in modern construction can be traced all the way back to ancient Egypt. Long prized for its exquisite beauty and durability, it has stood the test of time in structures like Cleopatra’s Needle, which is carved out of red granite. Today it continues to be an industry standard, setting the bar for elegance and sophistication in home construction and remodeling. Granite kitchen countertops in Kennesaw share this rich history of construction ingenuity and craftsmanship. The Composition of Class Granite is a coarse, holocrystalline rock in its purest form. It is usually made up of about 20% quartz and 60% alkali feldspar along with various other minerals that add unique characteristics to this beautiful rock. It is commonly found in mountainous regions of countries like Italy, Spain, India, China, Brazil, Egypt, and Iran. It is mined in natural chunks in efforts to preserve the natural patterns and grains found throughout the stone formations. It is later cut into more marketable slabs that can be transformed into various different products such as tile, columns, sculptures, and even kitchen countertops. The Luxury of Choice Granite is available in a wide range of colors, patterns, grains, and styles. Natural stone is so unique because no two pieces are ever the same. A granite countertop in your kitchen can be a conversation piece with beautiful flecks of color and unique patterns you won't find in other construction materials. It is also versatile enough for custom creations when processed into engineered stone. Engineered stone is comprised of crushed granite mixed with a polymer resin and is just as durable as natural stone. Composite granite is non-porous and requires less regular maintenance than pure granite but it is also less prone to scratches and stains.
