Best selection of Granite Stones

Granite or Seng Khara is a stone from the group of internal igneous rocks. Internal igneous rocks are formed from lavas deep in the earth’s crust. As the lava cools, this stone crystallizes under high pressure, and crystallization is the reason for the appearance of colored spots on this stone. The longer the molten rock takes to cool, the larger the colored spots or grains in the rock. Granite gets its name from the Latin word “Granum” which means grain.

Characteristics of granite stone:

Granite is one of the strongest and hardest stones, and this is perhaps the most important feature of granite. Other features of granite stone are introduced in two categories: advantages and disadvantages. The advantages of granite stone include the following: 1- Compact and dense texture 2- Resistant to pressure 3- Resistant to scratching and abrasion 4- Resistant to corrosion and breakage 5- Strength and long life 6- Resistant to water penetration and humidity 7- Resistant to heat 8- Resistant to different weather conditions 9- Diversity in design and color and disadvantages of granite include the following: 1- Heavy weight 2- Low adhesion (to mortar, etc.) 3- Lack of thermal and sound insulation 4- High processing cost.

Granite mines:

Granite is mined all over the world, but most rare colors come from granite quarries in Brazil, India, China, Finland, South Africa, and North America. Quarrying is a large and lengthy process, in which pieces of granite are removed from sediments by cutting or crushing. Special cutters are used to cut the quarried pieces of granite into portable slabs, which are then packed and shipped by rail or ship. China, Brazil and India are the leading producers of granite in the world. In Iran, there are many mines from which granite stone is extracted, a large number of these mines are located in the provinces of Isfahan, Sistan and Baluchistan, Khorasan and Hamedan.

Applications of granite stone:

Due to the fact that granite is one of the strongest stones, this stone can be used in various indoor and outdoor spaces. External spaces, such as the facade of the building (by dry connection method), the floor of the area, the stairs of the area, etc. and the internal spaces, such as the internal walls, building stairs, lobbies and entrances, columns and fireplaces, floors of the reception hall, hotels, counters and counters used in commercial centers, cabinet screens, kitchen interiors, etc. Also, due to the compact structure and low penetration of water in this stone, it can be used in environments that are exposed to water and humidity, such as toilets, bathrooms, washrooms, and swimming pools.

Factors affecting the price of granite stone:

In general, the type of stone, the cost of the extraction process, processing and subbing operations, the amount of veins in the stone and transportation have an effect on the price of the stone. Therefore, due to the more difficult and costly extraction and processing, granite stones have a higher price than other stones. Another notable thing is the difference between stone processing in the form of slabs and tiles. In general, processing and transporting slabs is more difficult and expensive than tiles; As a result, the price of slabs is higher than tiles. In addition to the mentioned items, the size and thickness of the stone (slab or tile) also affects the final price. The larger the size and thickness, the higher the price.
