What makes some monuments look weathered while others stay newer looking?
Endurance is a big word in memorial industry. Today, most monuments are made of granite but what grade of granite is the big question. While winter is a major culprit in destroying granite, all seasons and all weather can do damage. By far the biggest problem is the freezing and refreezing of water that has seeped into the granites pores. This constant contraction and expansion causes cracks and fissures in lesser quality granites. And even if no cracks are apparent, this action can cause the surface of the monument to develop a faded appearance. By using only the finest grades of granite Art In Granite Memorials is able to offer an unconditional granite quality guarantee. While this grade may be a bit more costly, the granites ability to stand up over very long periods means the monument fulfills its duty as a long-lasting remembrance of the loved one.
