(EstateNewsWire.com, February 09, 2013 ) Florissant MO -- The United States is a leader in the extraction and processing of granite for the building industry with its several quarries nationwide. As the demand for granite countertops increases, more suppliers from around the world will be sought. With more counties producing the stone the color variations in granite has allowed a wider choice in material for new countertops. Surface Encounters carries a large supply of granite slabs in a wide array of colors and designs.
When customers visit the showroom, they are amazed at the color variations in granite. As they tour the facility they discover a variety of granite slabs and other natural stone products while learning many fun facts about the product. In addition, the automated machinery used by Surface Encounters is nothing short of amazing.
Granite is a dimensional stone which is formed over eons from minerals solidifying together and condensing under great forces of pressure from the plate tectonics in the earth’s crust. When cut into slabs and polished for granite countertops one can see the layers of formation in the stone. According to the experts at Surface Encounters (http://www.halfoffgranite.com/) this process of nature contributes to 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 one’s granite countertop can make the surface appear darker or lighter.
Granite will vary in its color pattern and can be compared to 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.
