GRANITES

Granite belongs to a broader category of granitic rocks, characterized by their coarse-grained composition primarily consisting of quartz (crystalline silica with impurities) and feldspars (potassium, sodium, or calcium aluminosilicates) in differing proportions. The variations in the quantities of quartz, alkali feldspar, and plagioclase within granite are the fundamental factors contributing to its wide range of colors.

OUR RANGE OF SUPPLY IN GRANITES

We supply a wide range of high quality granites mined from various parts of India, Which includes famous south Indian stones like Galaxy Black, Jet Black, Cat eye, Volga blue, Crystal-Blue and 20+ north Indian varieties in various surface finishes.

SURFACE FINISHES

Mirror finish

It makes the stone appear darker and the colour look much richer, compared to the raw stone. To achieve a polished look, granite is buffed and polished to the highest level of shine that can be achieved by the stone.

Lapotra finish

To produce Lapotra finish, granite surface is first grinded by using an abrasive and all the polish on the granite surface is removed. Various stone brushes are applied in a way similar to leather finish. While in Leather finish granite, the process stops here, in case of lappato finish, three more special stonesare applied to achieve final finish which is a combination of matt and gloss, less reflective and has a granular worn-out but highly elegant look. The surface is non slippery and easy to clean.

Leather finish

Leathering granite is an intense and difficult process that is achieved by running a diamond tipped brush over the stone’s surface repeatedly. This strips away imperfections and polishes the stone while leaving the natural contours and grooves intact.

FAQ about Granites

1) Why the surface of some granites corrode away after a few years of installation ?

Granite is one of the hardest materials on Earth. Splitting granite into slabs causes intense tool wear. To reduce tool wear and improve chip removal, acid-based cutting fluids are used along with water. When the concentration of such fluids exceeds the maximum limit, they penetrate deeper into the surface beyond what can be removed during polishing. This alters the feldspar present in the granite. Over the course of usage, the altered material wears away.
The use of concentrated chemicals for cleaning granite is also responsible for the corrosion of the material.

2) Why Cracks are not visible at some granites while purchasing it and how to figure out them ?

Cracks are not always visible in some granites when purchasing them. This is because, after splitting granite into slabs, resins such as epoxy are applied before polishing. Minute fissures and cracks, which are a part of every natural stone, are completely sealed by the resin. However, as the resin hardens, it shrinks, especially in larger cracks. This shrinkage weakens the resin and leads to the occurrence of invisible cracks, which become visible over time.

To detect these cracks, you can look very closely at the polished side of the granite. If that is not sufficient, examining the unpolished side of the granite can reveal any hidden cracks.
