Phone #: 778-646-2770 Granite is a naturally occurring stone that can be found all over the world and is the result of volcanic activity from millions of years ago. Granite blocks are quarried out of the ground and then cut into slabs, polished and shipped around the world. Withstanding many years of underground pre
ssure, granite can also endure the daily abuse of kitchen wear and tear. Granite is a hard surface and will not scratch from the use of knives or other sharp objects on its surface. Additionally, hot pots and cold dishes will not burn, melt, crack or discolor the surface of granite. Quartz is a manufactured stone surface that is approximately 95% - 97% granite. Quartz is manufactured by crushing granite, sorting it by colours and forming into a hard surface with resin. Quartz is stain resistant and maintenance free. Once you have chosen to replace your counter tops, an experienced technician is sent to your house to template your cabinets and counters. From these templates, the granite slabs are cut by diamond blades on a large bridge saw machine. Once the pieces have been cut, they are polished by hand or on a large edge-polishing machine. After a high gloss finish is achieved on the edges, the cutouts for sinks and cooktops are formed. The granite is delivered to your home and installed by trained mechanics to fit beautifully into your kitchen or bathroom.
