Why Granite is so Affective and good for any flooring or worktop?

Granite is typical of a larger family of granitic rocks that are composed mostly of coarse-grained quartz and feldspars in varying proportions. These rocks are classified by the relative percentages of quartz, alkali feldspar, and plagioclase (the QAPF classification), with true granite representing granitic rocks rich in quartz and alkali feldspar. Most granitic rocks also contain mica or amphibole minerals, though a few (known as leucogranites) contain almost no dark minerals.

Granite flooring has become increasingly popular in recent decades and besides its beauty, granite has several obvious benefits to homeowners. Apart from flooring granite is also used as counter-tops and back-splashes. Granite can give your home an aura of richness. Its beauty can surpass most other flooring material. Being a natural stone product it is completely biodegradable which makes it common and favourite among environmentally friendly homeowners. It is not as porous as marble but needs to be sealed for lower maintenance . It is much harder and stain resistant than any other material such as marble. Many home and business place owners are using granite noting its beauty, resistance to stains, and durability.
