What is granite?
|
|
The concept granite is not a clear notion to many people
in the modern high-tech and computerized world.
Granite is a symbol of hardness, strength and durability.
The products made of granite materials are practically eternal.
Granite (from the Latin word granum grain) is a granular rock formed by
the crystallization of magma in the crust. It is composed of the minerals:
quartz, feldspar and mica.
Granite has physico-mechanical properties that characterize it as an excellent
structural, decorative-facing and monumental material.
It has a density of 2700 kg/m3, hardness 7 by Mohs’ scale and 150 to 250 MPa
compressive strength. It is cold resistant and highly resistant to aging and weathering.
Polished granite preserves its luster for centuries and millennia.
On our planet granite occurs in inexhaustible quantities and humanity will never feel
short of it. Granite rocks are differently colored, varying between the
white Norwegian granite and the black African one, coming in a wide range of
various colors such as bluish, pearly-gray,
cream, pink, red and green granites.
Some of these are unique in color and have a highly decorative value.
