Granite (What you need to know)

If you have chosen granite for the kitchen or bathroom, make sure the fabricator and/or installer is knowledgeable.  There are things to ask when choosing your stone and hiring an installer.  Here are a few:

1. What is the geology of the stone?
2. What is the structure of different kinds of stone and materials?
3. Quarry techniques that affect the stone
4. Fabrication and installation requirements
5. Can you do a chemical or physical test?
6. Can you repair and replace?

Many people feel that the price of granite and it's installation is too high.  If you ask the before mentioned questions and hire a certified fabricator, you are getting your moneys worth.  It is much more than picking out a slab, cutting it and installing it.  Take a look at some of the photos below.  They will take you on a tour of where the stone comes from and how it is brought to the consumer.
