Being a natural material, each granite slab features patterns and colors that make each countertop or vanity top one of a kind. For a surface that offers a level of elegance that is often imitated but never equaled, a granite countertop or vanity top is the surface by which all others are judged.

Natural polished granite surfaces will give you many years of superb performance in your kitchen, bath, or commercial surfacing areas, because of it's heat, stain and scratch resistant characteristics. Other companies offer generic composite surfaces, including some laminates and plastics, which have many disadvantages, such as scratching and staining, and are not renowned for withstanding heat and years of heavy wear and tear... like granite does.

Granite is an ideal material for countertops and vanity tops because it is one of nature’s hardest and densest materials. It is also a stylish option combining the beauty of natural stone with its outstanding durability. It is easy to underestimate how much wear and tear household or commercial countertop surfaces must endure every day. Countertops can be subjected to extreme temperatures, abrasive materials, moisture, and other stresses that can quickly take their toll on inferior surfaces. When what is needed is a tough, wear-resistant surface, and one which also adds distinguished character to its surrounding space, granite is the ideal countertop or vanity top solution.

Galaxy tips for getting a perfect fit in your countertops.

• Measurements. The greater the accuracy the better the ultimate fit and the easier the installation. Call us to arrange a free quotation measurement visit if your stumped. Try and get within at least 1/4 inch. The manner in which the counters are constructed does allow for some play and error. The back and side splashes allow about 3/4 of an inch under which problems can be hidden. The manner in which we make the corner panels also allows for a wide margin of error. Fax us your measurements and sketch at (586) 268-0099

Some tips on the care of Granite Countertop surfaces:

Homeowners who are seeking to increase value to their homes enjoy the durability and easy maintenance when upgrading to granite countertops. Granite is the most durable of all stones, second only to diamonds. Granite, being created from molten rock, can withstand the heat from a hot pot without a trivet. The hardness of the surface is excellent for handling dough and confectionery. While durable and low maintenance, however, they are not impervious to damage.

Properly installed granite countertops should last a lifetime, one justification for the higher costs associated with the material and professional installation. We provide personalized instructions for care with each granite or marble slab, since all quaried granite is made up of many different minerals. Even if two different stone slabs come from the same part of the world, there will be variances in the granite that require different kinds of attention .
