WHAT IS GRANITE AND ITS PROPERTIES

Granite is a natural magma rock formed by the combination of various minerals such as quartz, feldspar and mica during millions of years of geological formation of the earth.

Granite, which has a solid structure with the texture formed by these minerals in its composition and an aesthetic appearance with its rich color scale, has been the hardest and most durable building material of the earth, sought after throughout history.

Granite is a preferred building material in modern architecture with its rich color and texture options, as well as physical properties such as protecting structures from external factors, preserving the climate inside the building, not needing periodic maintenance, reflecting light and preserving its brightness for a long time and not losing its first-day appearance for years.

It also has advantages such as being manufactured in various thicknesses and sizes, and being able to drill anchor holes for facade cladding.

Granite, which was produced and processed under very difficult conditions in ancient times, is now produced with advanced methods and processed with high technology and used in various areas of the building sector, from exterior cladding to flooring, from stairs to kitchen and bathroom countertops, from elevator jambs to fireplaces.

Granite, today's most durable and aesthetic building material, has a rich variety of colors and textures. Being easy to clean, it is the most functional and hygienic material that can be used indoors and outdoors.

Granite, which came into widespread use in our country in the early 90s, is used especially in large project applications due to all these advantages.

DURABLE

High Abrasion Resistance: Granite is not scratched with metal or similar materials thanks to quartz, which approaches the hardness of diamond with its hardness according to the values in the Mohs chart, and shows high abrasion resistance even in areas with intense circulation.

Unbreakable, High Bending and Impact Resistance: Granite is as flexible as it is hard due to its structure and this feature gives it high impact and bending resistance. It does not crack or break during cutting or transportation.

HYGIENIC

Does not absorb liquid: The water absorption coefficient is at highly variable rates such as 0.05% - 0.20%. Granite, which does not accept liquid, does not stain thanks to this feature.

No Capillary Cracks: Granite has a homogeneous and compact structure. Its texture, which does not contain capillary cracks, does not allow micro-organisms to reproduce, and with the protective agent we apply after assembly, it does not allow micro-organisms to shelter for years.

EASY TO CLEAN

Granite gets its shine from the natural sparkle of quartz. It does not require polishing afterwards. A neutral detergent dissolved in water is sufficient for cleaning and does not require polishing. Therefore, it provides significant savings in cleaning costs.

NOT AFFECTED BY ACIDS AND BASES

Granite shows high resistance to the corrosive effects of acids and bases. For this reason, it can be used safely even in laboratory environments where chemicals are used intensively.

Lemon, olive oil, vinegar, wine and similar substances do not stain the granite countertops and countertops and are easily cleaned.
