What is the difference between granite and other man-made solid surfaces?
Granite is a natural stone created over millions of years from minerals and substances from the earth. Corian, and similar products, are instead man-made products that try to simulate granite. Unfortunately, these products will never duplicate the beauty possessed by any of the natural stones. Quite often it is believed that natural stone costs a lot more than man-made materials, however modern techniques in tooling and technology have cut the price dramatically. Now, more than ever, natural stones are affordable and priced competitively with man-made products.
