Why use granite for outdoor projects
Granite is a rock that has been used since time immemorial in the construction and decoration of both houses and buildings. The characteristics of this material make it one of the most better choices in the works.
This material is one of the most resistant to heat and humidity. In addition, due to its hardness, it is difficult to scratch, which makes it a durable material.
On the other hand, granite is a great thermal and acoustic insulator, which means greater energy savings for those who live in a house with a facade made of this material. In addition, this good behavior in the face of sudden changes in temperature helps to prevent dampness.
Regarding the aesthetic aspect, granite offers a great variety of possibilities with different finishes, textures and colors depending on its quarry. This makes it easy to combine with different materials and styles.
