In addition, P&L Marble has an extensive experience in supplying stones to commercial project regardless of size or complexity. Due to the fact that we are a direct manufacturer and not a stone broker (which a majority of self-proclaimed "factories" are), we have complete control over the quality and the delivery of our product. Once the client approves a sample, we guaranty that the product will conform to the approved sample and arrive within the designated shipment window. Unlike some of our competitors who tends to over "promise" yet under "deliver", we can and will back up our guarantee with a full performance bond - up to $5 million (per request).

DEFINITION:
Granite is a common and widely occurring type of intrusive, felsic, igneous rock. Granites are usually medium to coarsely crystalline, occasionally with some individual crystals larger than the groundmass forming a rock known as porphyry. Granites can be pink to dark gray or even black, depending on their chemistry and mineralogy. Outcrops of granite tend to form tors, and rounded massifs. Granites sometimes occur in circular depressions surrounded by a range of hills, formed by the metamorphic aureole or hornfels. Granite is always massive, hard and tough, and it is for this reason it has gained widespread use as a construction stone. The average density of granite is 2.75 g·cm−3 with a range of 1.74 g·cm−3 to 2.80 g·cm−3. The word granite comes from the Latin granum, a grain, in reference to the coarse-grained structure of such a crystalline rock.
Granite has been extensively used as a dimension stone and as flooring tiles in public and commercial buildings and monuments. With increasing amounts of acid rain in parts of the world, granite has begun to supplant marble as a monument material, since it is much more durable. Polished granite has been a popular choice for kitchen countertops due to its high durability and aesthetic qualities. (Source: Wikipedia - Granite)
