Today natural stone is experiencing a surprising renaissance. Architects are again coming up with new innovative applications for this building material. While metal and glass stand for technical progress, natural stone stands for tradition. The Mediterranean cultures of the Greeks and Romans are considered as direct ancestors - of the Central European culture area. In architecture the use of natural stone for all areas of the public life stand as the hallmark of a civilized society.. Granite, because of its natural strength, is seen as an ideal building material for religious, public and private buildings. Be that structural or ornamental, granite always

manifests the design-oriented side of architecture: in a room, as a facade, or in public places and roads.

Today owners and architects are looking for a building material, which is natural and recyclable. Granite is ideal for this. The rock is of finished structure and consists of the minerals feldspar, quartz and the dark mica Biotit. The arrangement of the components is directionless filling any space with ease and grace. Granite belongs into the main group of the Magmatite (larva rocks) and the sub-group Plutonite. These are the result of crystallization from large fused molten masses within the earth's crust. Plutonite is only accessible for manufacturing once surface layers of rock have been eroded and the rock quarried.

Granite is characterised by large firmness, which sets no borders for its application. Granite surfaces can be sawed, ground, flamed, sand-radiated or polished, all different methods of bringing out the optimal structure, colour and texture of the stone.
