Use and Care Manual

12
Polished granite has a smooth, shiny and reflective finish. This process highlights the
character of your stone. The color, depth and crystal structure become more visible. Your
stone appears darker, and the colors seem richer. This mirror-like finish is considered the
finest and smoothest finish available.
