Exotic Granite Slabs in Stockyard

Granite is what is known as an intrusive igneous rock that has visible mineral deposits. So what is an intrusive igneous rock exactly? Geologically, intrusive igneous rocks are loosely defined as molten rock that cooled within the earth’s crust without ever being expelled. By remaining in the crust, this molten rock cools more slowly, allowing various minerals to form and orientate within the final stone.

It’s important to note that while incredibly hard, natural granite is inherently porous. Granite is highly susceptible to issues like staining. That’s why it is strongly recommended that you include the application of a high-quality sealant with your granite countertops installation. This application will render your surfaces non-porous and stain-resistant. Typically, sealants should be re-applied each year to maintain and protect the natural beauty and impressive performance year after year.
