Granite has been used as a building material since ancient times. It is one of the oldest and most durable building products available. It has become the material of choice for today’s luxury homes and offices because of its enduring beauty and because no synthetic material can compare to its elegance and performance.
Granite is believed to have been formed as long ago as 300 million years. It began as a mass of molten rock formed by volcanic activity about 11-12 miles underground. Forces of nature caused the magma to gradually rise to the surface, where it began to cool very slowly over the next million years or so, solidifying into granite.
Dimensional granite specs include high load bearing capacity, amenability to cutting without secondary flaws, ability to yield thin and large slabs and – above all – durability. Granite is a very strong and durable stone. It takes heavy gloss polish, popularly used as architectural stone for interior and exterior walls, floors and monumental stone.
Granite is the most exclusive of all building stones, and granite slabs and granite tiles occupy a prominent place among dimensional stones. Its fascinating colors, heavy gloss mirror polish, and textural patterns make granite slabs and granite tiles extremely popular.
Granite is a beautiful and durable material. By following a few suggestions for use, your countertops will last a lifetime while maintaining a brand-new appearance.

“Created by Nature, Perfected by Gaumats!” Gaumats International, LLC was formed in 2005 by Apul and his wife Daisy Gaumat. Apul’s knowledge of granite and marble comes from his family-owned quarries and processing plants located in India. When Apul started Gaumats International, LLC, several fabrication companies were doing similar work, but Apul wanted to do things differently by providing a better customer experience. He imported premium quality granite slabs and hired artisans fabricators.
Our main goal is to provide the best quality and workmanship to each and every customer. In 2005, Gaumats International, LLC started in a 2,600-square-foot building but shortly after grew out of that facility. We're currently located in a custom-built 10,000-square-foot building with a 2,000-square-foot showroom space. Our warehouses have beautiful slabs from around the world, and each job is custom fabricated in a state-of-the-art fabrication facility. The fabrication is completed by an Italian CNC which cuts the stone to the job specifications. Once the stone has been cut, our specialized artisans provide the finishing touches to get the product ready for installation.
As a local business, we are always trying to improve our customer experience and are always looking for a better way to serve all of our customers!
