Granite is made up of hardened molten masses. Molten material can form inside the earth or as a result of a volcanic eruption on the surface. The chemical composition of igneous rocks is mainly composed of quartz, feldspar, plagioclase and mica, which in different igneous rocks have different ratios of these minerals. The presence of quartz or silica has increased the strength of granite stones, so their durability is very high and can be used in different parts of the building.
Granite rocks are divided into two categories of internal and external igneous rocks based on the formation process. Internal igneous rocks have medium to coarse texture due to gradual cooling, such as granite and gabbro. While outer igneous rocks have a fine or crystalline texture due to the high rate of heat loss in the air, such as basalt and rhyolite.
Application of granite
Due to the high strength of granite, they are widely used in various parts of the building. Their most important and obvious application is in the entrance part of the building or the paving of public places. In industrial halls, due to the presence of chemicals and acids, they are the best option.
Alaska white granite is one of the most beautiful and expensive types of granite in the world and is extracted in Brazil and processed as a slab.
Blue pearl granite is extracted from Norway and has one of the most beautiful types of granites that are cut into slabs and used as wall coverings and floors in the interior decoration of buildings.
Icy white granite has a light gray background with a metallic sheen with white and black streaks. Ice white granites are extracted and processed from Brazil and are one of the best choices for modern interiors such as wall coverings and floors. Ice white granites are also used in the exterior decoration and entrance space of buildings.
Fusion granite has one of the most beautiful granite designs in the world. From gray and light cream background colors to smoky and faded colors of white, green, blue, orange, cloudy and windy. This type of granite is also processed in Brazil and has many applications in the interior decoration of modern buildings.
Due to the high cost of extraction and processing of granite stones, the price of granite stones is higher than different types of marble and travertine. Granite stones that have a higher sub quality and are in higher grades in terms of calibration are also more expensive. White granite stones are more expensive than dark granites
Granites are extracted in blocks from the mine and transferred to quarries for processing. And in the dimensions of granite slabs, all types of tiles are processed 80 * 80, 80 * 60, 50 * 50, 40 * 40. The best tile thickness is 2 cm and 3 cm is more suitable for kitchen countertops.
Delicatus granite has a white background with beautiful dark veins. This type of granite has a clean and shiny appearance and is used to produce kitchen counters, floors and walls inside the building. This granite is widely used in the exterior decoration of the building, especially the entrances, and can give a unique space to the building. Delicatus granite is processed in Brazil.
Volga blue granite is one of the most durable granites extracted from Ukraine. Which has a dark background with shades of dark gray and blue. This type of granite is processed in the form of slabs and tiles and due to its high strength and durability, it can be used indoors and outdoors.
