Reasons To Use Granite For Monuments
2
Introduction
Monuments are made up of many materials such as
marbles, granite and some other options. Out of
these options, granite is one of the most
commonly used material for making the monuments.
Lets have a look into the reasons why it is
preferred over other options.

Durability
Granite offers durability to the monument. The
reason why it is used for monuments mostly is
that it makes the monuments live for a longer
period of time without any major damage to the
structure. People prefer it because it is a one
time matter for them as granite does not break or
degrade with time.
4
Unique, aesthetic appeal
Granite has a very unique and aesthetically rich
look to it. It makes the monument look
beautifully different from monuments in which
different materials are used. When granite is
processed and polished, it gives a very
attractive look. This is one of the main reasons
why people prefer granite over other materials.
5
Engraving/etching friendly
Granite is a material that is flexible and
friendly for etching and engraving on it. It
allows manufacturers to do more with the granite
stone to carve it into a beautiful and expressive
headstone. Engraving and etching can be done
perfectly on granite and offers more versatility
to the monument.
6
Easier sandblasting
Monument manufacturers can also perform
sandblasting on the granite monuments. This is
another reason why using granite for the
monuments and headstones is the wise option. Sand
blasting is used to do the customized
inscriptions on the monument to make them long
lasting and beautiful.
