Granite Countertops

Once a symbol of luxury, granite is now a stylish and affordable choice for homeowners everywhere. Thanks to expanded exports from Brazil, China, and India, you can find granite in stunning colors and patterns—from exotic, eye-catching designs to cost-effective styles. Granite forms deep underground from melted rock called magma. As the magma cools very slowly, natural minerals grow and harden, creating granite’s speckled appearance. This process takes millions of years. Over time, natural movement in the Earth brings granite closer to the surface, where it can be quarried. The stone is then cut into blocks, sliced into slabs, polished, and used for countertops and other surfaces.

Each granite slab is completely natural and one of a kind.
