How to Fabricate Natural Stone

Extracting the granite from the earth is the first process involved in making this stone consumer-ready. There are quarries all over the country where granite is present in various quantities. In order to cut the granite stone, large saws are used. A special chemical is applied to both the saw and stone to help prevent breakage.

The next step in the fabrication process involves cutting these large natural stones into manageable sizes. Slabs are cut into specific lengths, widths and thickness that will eventually be used for countertops.

Polishing the granite is the next step. Certain abrasives are used to polish the granite to the glassy finish that is loved for kitchen countertops. All the finished products are then checked for any damage.

After the stone has been polished and cut into a size that is specific for your kitchen countertop, you can install it. Seek professional help for this purpose. The entire process could take several hours as large slabs of natural stone are carefully installed in your kitchen.
