Granite is natural rock and is naturally beautiful. It is considered a substantial upgrade for your kitchen countertops and bathroom vanity counter top when compared to products such as Cultured Marble and Corian. The process of fabricating granite is very difficult. It must first be extracted from a mountain in a large block form, then cut and polished with diamonds and water. Lastly, it must be packaged and delivered in the form of a bathroom vanity top, kitchen counter top, or other complete product.
