Quite Mind Boggling…



Most people don’t realize the intense labor that is involved to supply beautiful granite countertops. From cutting granite blocks out of the earth, all the way to the final installation of your polished granite countertops, islandsvanities, bar tops, or fireplaces,  the process is quite mind boggling. MIAThe Marble Institute of America offers a terrific video demonstrating the process, “From the Quarry to Your Kitchen”.

As part of the complex process, PGC receives some of its slabs directly from other countries. This week, we received a container of granite from India. When you take into consideration that a slab of granite can be anywhere from 40 square feet (SF) to 70 SF, weighing approximately 18 lbs per SF…well, you do the math, it is not an easy, or quick process to unload 43 slabs of granite. 

Below are some of the photos from the day we unloaded the container.
