More on Granite - Marble Dealers

Your local granite and marble dealer fabricates, imports granite and marble to consumers. They are often sold in slabs to ensure the exact quantity of stones you need and they come in different colors. They have a showroom where they show the variety of colors and design types to choose from. All of these natural stones go in three different processes: Polishing, satin, and honing. The polishing process starts with a rough slab of granite or marble is placed on an automated conveyor system which moves the slab through different stages of finishing. The side of the slab that needs to be finished is placed on a conveyor belt where it goes through a series of polishing wheels that has coarse abrasive pads and fine polishing pads. These pads apply pressure to the stone and it does the process of grinding and buffing the stone at the same time. The finish of the stone depends on how many times you want the stone to be grinded and buffed. Next is the satin finish where they apply a new surface finish that creates a light or faint gloss on the stone. Finally, the granite is honed by buffing the surface finish. It creates a smooth surface without reflection, resulting in a matte like appearance of the stone. Local granite and marble dealer perform these processes on their own lot sometimes so that you are ensuring that they are in good quality. Granite & marble are a good addition and investment to have it on your home or business.
