GRANITE & OTHER STONE BLOCKS PROCESSING & POLISHING

Granite Slab and Tiles are used in buildings for the purpose of wall paneling and for the decoration of walls in the development of buildings (industrial or residential.)

Moving across the glorious past, enriched with tradition and skill, India has emerged as a nation devoted to industrial development on sound modern lines. India’s industrial progress present a wide spread pattern of modern industries covering wide areas of industrial activities and pulsating with modern know – how and research. The wide spread popularity of granite tile is more evident in major public monumental buildings of traditional or conservative designs.
The new users of granite tile are also steadily growing. So far, for exterior granite is used both
structurally and as a veneer, for certain walls, column facing trim. For interior, its uses is even more diversified, for nearly every type of practical and aesthetic need. A brief listing of interior uses would include floor, stairs wall facing, and column, toilet, bathroom etc. A decorative for many purposes. In all these areas granite is unexcelled for end using beauty and low maintenance.

The granite slab and tiles of different sizes having dimension for slab 30cm x 30cm, 40cm x 40cm, 60 x 40cm, 80cm x 40cm, 90cm x 40cm and for tiles dimension is 15cm x 10cm, 20cm x 10cm, 30cm x 10cm and the thickness for slab should be in range of 18mm to 20mm for tiles thickness is 7/8mm.

It is also used in the construction of forts temples, palaces, and other buildings in South India. Ancient forts such as the Janjore Fort in Tamil Nadu the Golkonda Fort near Hyderabad and Chitradurga and Bellar Forts in Karnataka are important examples of the use of granite. The slatue of Sri Gomateshwari (Bahubali) at shravanbelgoola in Karnataka is an outstanding work-piece in granite.

Granites are widespread through-out the Archaean terrain. The Archeans which are the oldest stocks of the earth’s crust occur at the bottom of the stratified formation of the Cambrian in all countries of the world.

Regarding their structure and composition they exhibit similar characteristics every where. They form the core of all the mountain chains of the world and the foundation of all its great ancient plain. The rocks of the Archaean system cover several hundred thousand kilometers in India. By far the largest part of the peninsular India is occupied by this ancient crystalline complex. The Archacan system includes Dharwars, Charnockites, Bundelkhand greiss, banded greissic complex, older metamorphics, and basement complex. They occupy wide areas in Assam, Bihar, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Orissa, besides the southern states of Karnataka, Goa, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry.
