Granitex provides natural stone
solutions for all your needs.
Granitex Corp is staffed with industry experts who will check the stability and strength of your cabinets. If your cabinets are not sturdy, we will work with you or your contractor to make it right, reinforcing them to eliminate any potential issue.
Granite comes in 2cm and 3cm OR 3/4" and 1 1/4" thickness. For our countertops, we use only 1 1/4" thick slabs.
Slabs of granite are big, but some kitchen designs are quite large, and two pieces of granite are needed to safely transport them from facility to your house. Seams are also necessary if your kitchen layout has long spans, or unique form.
Granite is a natural material that is very strong. However, it can be damaged by severe abuse such as hitting with heavy objects. Granite dust mixed with epoxy is used to fill any chip. If your granite countertop acquires a chip, set the pieces aside and call us. We will use the chips, granite dust and epoxy to repair the chip in a way that it will be not visible.
In an environment of regular use, your granite countertops will not crack. Granite is a durable material and cannot be overstressed under average and normal use.
With ordinary use, your granite countertops won't burn. The hot surface is not an issue for natural stone.
We will apply sealer on your natural stone countertops. The sealer will lock crystals together and will fill space between them. This will give you more time to clean counters if you have an accident and it will not absorb fast.
It is recommended to do sealing once a year. The sealant will make your counters shiny again and will bring colors back. This is not an expensive process. The granite we stock is sealed before fabrication for projects and upon installation of your granite countertops, we will apply another coat of required sealant.
Yes, they are different. Granite comes from inside the earth's core and is a highly dense material. Marble, on the other hand, is formed from sediments found under the seabed. After millions of years, both materials solidify into stone. Because they are composed differently, marble is softer and less durable than granite.
We employ the highly experienced workers to install our granite countertops at Granitex Corp. However, they are not trained in electricity or plumbing, and we are not able to assume liability for reconnections. We can provide you references for companies or individuals that are licensed and experienced in electric and/or plumbing areas.
We receive granite from locations worldwide. We have granite from Brazil, China, India, Italy and the United States.
Granite is a durable and extremely tough material and for the most part, using it as a cutting surface and years will pass you could see some marks left if any.
There are products on the market that are specially formulated for cleaning granite countertops. However, you can simply use warm water and mild soap with a soft rag.
