How Granite Countertops Are Made | Detailed Process Overview
Granite countertops are made through a series of steps including quarrying, cutting, shaping, polishing, and sealing. First, granite blocks are extracted from quarries, then cut into slabs and polished to achieve a smooth surface. Finally, the slabs are fabricated into countertops according to specific measurements and sealed for protection.

Granite Cutting and Processing | Production Stages at Factory
The process commences with granite mining and quarrying, wherein substantial blocks of granite are taken from the Earth’s crust through diverse processes. In the granite processing industry, granite quarry identification and block selection are crucial steps that lay the groundwork for the production of high-quality final products.
The manufacture of granite countertops begins with mining dimensional granite from quarries. Dimensional means that the rock is cut in whole pieces as opposed to quarried for crushed stone. In the United States, granite is mainly quarried in New England (New Hampshire is known as the Granite State), Texas, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Georgia, but
