North Carolina granite is a hallmark of this industry. It has the largest open faced quarry for this natural stone in the United States and the availability of this beautiful material for your kitchen or bathroom is good. In Concord NC, granite counter tops are the most beautiful and valuable way to enhance any home.
This is a natural stone with many variations in color, grain and markings. The process of removing the stone from the ground and getting it installed in our home can be an interesting one. It all begins with large earth moving equipment and someone who can handle explosives.
The deposits of granite are rather large and must be broken up in order to move them out of the ground. This produces slightly smaller pieces that are still very large. Many of them are larger than the truck you would think might carry them away. This requires additional handling to make them small enough to fit in that truck.
When these pieces can be moved, they are taken to a stone cutter for more work. This craftsman will trim the pieces into sizes that are a little closer to what a counter top would be. They will then store all of these pieces so that you, or your general contractor, can inspect them closer to the time you will need them.
The inspection of these pieces will consider many elements of the stone. A particular color might be needed to match or compliment your kitchen or bathroom. This stone has natural colors from very black through various browns and can go all the way to an off white color. Gloss or no gloss is usually not considered at this time as that is handled later in the processing.
The very specific and, occasionally, exciting grain patterns are also something to think about. You can find many variations of patterns, such as the straight line or the whorled pattern. You need to have an attractive pattern as you will be living with this piece for as long as you live there. Many professionals will have computer programs that will help you visualize the effect these patterns have on the whole room.
The professionals who will cut the piece to your exacting measurements will come in and take those measurements. The piece they will trim will be just a little longer and wider than you need so this step is critical for a good, quality fit. All holes for faucets, sinks and trash disposal will be taken care of and the next step will bring the project almost to an end.
A major portion of the polishing will be conducted before installation to get the piece close to the finish. Finishes can go from high gloss to textured in many ways. The professionals will be able to handle this work as some of this involves substances that require safety equipment. Counter tops of this kind, especially in Concord NC, are the thing that sets your home apart from others and granite workers are the ones to accomplish this for you.
