Why Milano?
The Science of Granite
- Granite was formed billions of years ago as a result of heating
and cooling. Volcanoes and intense heat liquefied the rock deep in
the earth (molten magma). Then it cooled and solidified into very
strong, beautiful granite all over the world and in a vast array
of colors and patterns.
- Granite varies in color from slab to slab and from the color pattern
of a sample you may have seen, and in some instances, will vary in
the same piece. This character and uniqueness to each individual
slab assures a one of a kind countertop.
- A component of the color and pattern of granite are pits and fissures.
These natural pits and fissures are filled with resins to improve
the strength and appearance of the stones with these characteristics.
Milano Quality
- There are many grades of natural stone extracted from the world’s
quarries. 1st Quality (The best material available), 2nd Quality
(Minor imperfections and undesirable veins) and Commercial Quality
(Imperfections not typical of the material).
- For each 1st Quality block extracted from the quarry there are
many more 2nd Quality and Commercial Quality blocks quarried depending
on the material. The 2nd Quality and Commercial Quality blocks, when
produced into slabs, are sold at significant discount.
- To offer better prices, many fabricators work only with 2nd Quality
materials. Don’t be afraid to ask questions about the stone
you choose.
