(EstateNewsWire.com, October 21, 2012 ) Creve Coeur MO – With several quarries nationwide, the US leads the industry in the extraction and processing of granite for the building industry. As the demand for granite countertops and other natural stone surfaces grows, more suppliers from all over the world will be needed. With more countries producing natural stone material, the color variations in granite also increase in the U.S. market. This makes for a wide choice in colors for the countertops’ market and the chance to match any décor as seen in the Surface Encounters granite countertops showroom.
When consumers and home remodelers visit the showroom, they are in for a real treat as they view a variety of color variations in granite and learn many fun facts about natural stone products. In addition, the automated machinery used by Surface Encounters (http://www.halfoffgranite.com/) is nothing short of amazing.
Granite is a dimensional stone which is formed over time as minerals solidify together under great forces of pressure from the plate tectonics in the earth’s crust. When cut into slabs and polished for new countertops one can see the layers of formation that produces the color variations in granite.
The unique color variations in granite are created by the flow of the minerals through the body of this natural stone. This is called “movement” and granite countertops are often full of “movement”. This “movement” of minerals in granite countertops can make the surface appear darker or lighter.
The color variations in granite are almost like a fingerprint with no two slabs being exactly alike. The longer the slab the more distinct and unique the piece becomes, so each granite countertop is a unique piece of nature’s art.
Depending on the décor of one’s home or office, one may choose a color pattern native to a specific part of the world. Asian décors normally are accented with a red or pink granite countertop. These countertops are created from what is known as Rose granite which is native to Brazil or China.
A popular color chosen by contractors today is a blue granite countertop. Blue granite is native to the Ukraine, South Africa, and Norway. Regardless of the décor, Surface Encounters has 1000’s of color choices to choose from either in international or domestic granite.
The most widely used colors of granite used for granite countertops are yellow, beige, brown and black. In black granite, the quartz characteristics found in the natural stone give a textured appearance providing both an elegant and deep finish to a granite countertop. The black granite used in countertops is native to Sweden, Australia, South Africa and India.
Granite countertops with all of its color vanities offer one a chance at the most durable, life time-lasting beauty for any home. Unlike laminates which fade or discolor, granite countertops can be polished and returned to a rich, deep and full luster that only polished granite can provide.
