Cooled from hot molten rock and formed under enormous pressure within the earth’s crust, granite is made by the hand of mother nature herself over millions of years. For that very reason, granite displays a beauty and complexity in its natural form that no man-made material can duplicate.

Granite has long been recognized as the premium countertop material for use in kitchens, bathrooms and for other interior surfaces. Granite has a jewel-like quality, is as durable as any building material known to man and maintains its beauty and luster indefinitely. Next to diamonds, granite is the hardest of all natural stones. It is virtually impossible to scratch, chip or dent a granite countertop.

Until now, highly reflective polished surfaces have almost always been used for nearly all granite applications for the interior. Now, with the help of architects and designers looking for new ways to use granite, Cold Spring Granite, in conjunction with Intertile Distributors, Inc., headquartered in San Leandro, California, is introducing countertop granite with the new Velvet Finish.

Fast becoming a popular finish because of its "softness", Velvet Finished granite has all the durability and hardness properties of polished granite with a vibrant but non-reflective finish. This new, softer look is also becoming more popular in flooring materials, fireplace hearths and surrounds and other interior applications where granite is desired.

Founded in 1898, Cold Spring Granite Company is known the world over for quality, innovation and customer satisfaction. Combined with Intertile’s impressive California distribution network, Cold Spring and Intertile are poised to bring the beauty of granite to your home, no matter what design or finish you desire. Come and see the new Velvet Finish at any of the following Intertile locations:
