Granite Worktops- Fugen Stone
Quartz, mica, and feldspar are just a few of the minerals that make up the igneous rock known as granite. These minerals are trapped in its structure as a result of the slow crystallisation of magma beneath the surface of the planet.
Its hardness and endurance are produced by the high heat temperatures under which this substance formed. Minerals can form distinctive patterns, textures, and crystals due to their variety and abundance. There are several colours to choose from, including off whites, reds, blues, pinks, and greens. Others give spectacular combinations that resemble artistic paintings, while some are straightforward with subtle veining or patterning.
The hardness and softness of granites vary, affecting how each stone should be cleaned and maintained. A Granite Worktops is one of the most popular options for worktops since it is both attractive and diverse as well as strong and practical. In order to provide you with the best materials on the market, your fabricator will have access to a wide variety of the most sought-after Granites from Brazil, Italy, Africa, India, and China, to name just a few sources.
The colours and diversity you get with granites make them beautiful as a natural stone.
The Granite block that stone importers purchase from a quarry is divided into slabs. Although the color, pattern, and texture of each slab will typically be similar, there may be slight variations throughout the block.
Being a natural substance, granite may have divots or teeny-tiny holes where the tiny crystals do not attach to the surface. This would become clear during the selecting process and have no impact on how well the surface performed. Depending on the type of stone, these tiny pits will frequently be filled with a film of resin. Sometimes these holes are so tiny that the resin cannot get through them. We source blocks with fewer of these characteristics, but they occasionally do exist and shouldn’t be viewed as flaws.
Hard and soft granites are the two types. Generally speaking, granite doesn’t scratch very often, but we still suggest using a cutting board. Knives will become dull if you chop directly on your granite. Granite that is soft may scratch.
Although granites can withstand moderate heat because they were formed at high temperatures, it is still advisable to use trivets because your surface could experience a thermal shock and crack. Read more
