What is Granite Stone? Granite is nothing but an igneous stone formed from magma. It consists mainly of mica, quartz and alkali feldspar, which is usually found in the continental plates of Earth’s crust. Granite is mostly used as a construction stone as it is very hard and tough because the Compressive strength of the granite is usually above 200Mpa and the melting temperature is 1215 - 1260 degree centigrade. Granitoid is a general, descriptive field term for Granite. For identifying a specific type of granite stone there is a test called as Petrographic examination. Studying a stone with Petrographic technique was started approximately in 1840 by Henry C. Sorby.

Yes, we have got many alternatives to get the granite in the affordable range by an ordinary person. When it comes to original large granite slabs which are costlier and very far from ordinary people. We have four affordable ways to get the granite they are: 1.Pre cut granite slabs: They are similar to the large granite slabs with same beauty, quality and durability. Being cut out’s we need to design our counter tops according to their size and shape of pre cut granite slabs. 2.Granite tiles: We will have similar quality and durability at a lower price but we need to have good wooden support or backing to ensure for a longer life. It is very easy to cut and shaped according to the design. Time to fix the Granite tile is much less when compared to large granite slab. 3.Lower grade granite:When we need to go according to our budget as surely we cannot afford higher grade granite then we look for alternative lower grade granite which is similar to higher grade granite but they contain more minerals and stones. It is still very good enough to stand the daily load. 4.Thinner granite slabs: Normally we get granite of 3 centimeters in thickness which is a bit costly. So, if we want to get it in lower price some granite importers supply it with 2 centimeters which costs us less than larger granite slabs. Similar to granite tiles even thinner granite slabs need to have good wooden support or backing to ensure for a longer life. Hope now everyone can judge the best granite for affordable and best price with quality Granite Importer.
