Quick History of GraniteGranite has been extensively used as a dimension stone and as flooring tiles in public and commercial buildings and monuments. With increasing amounts of acid rain in parts of the world, granite has begun to supplant marble as a monument material, since it is much more durable. Polished granite has been a popular choice for kitchen countertops due to its high durability and aesthetic qualities. The Black Galaxy granites from the Cheemakurthy area of Andhra Pradesh in India are world known for their elegance. Engineers have traditionally used polished granite surfaces to establish a plane of reference, since they are relatively impervious and inflexible. |
