Formed deep within the earth's crust, Granite is an intrusive
igneous rock that lies as deep as 50km below the surface. Its
grainy structure and strength comes from the many crystalline
structures which form as magma slowly cools and is responsible for
its heat resistant properties. At Tekno Granite we excavate and
process this marvellous stone bringing both function and grandeur
to businesses and homes around the world.
The first step in processing our granite is the quarry. It is at
this stage where we must remove the layers of earth and vegetation
so as to expose the stone. Once this is achieved, the deposits are
cut into blocks using the latest in heavy machinery such as
diamond-wire cutters, drills and hydraulic splitters. These blocks
of 'raw' stone are then loaded onto transport vehicles and taken to
our factory where the magic of this natural stone is revealed for
the world to enjoy.
