A company that provides monuments for various types of permanent memorials may also offer more general service for Sand Blasting in Connecticut since the equipment is available. Granite business signs, for instance, can be created with this service. As with monuments, precisely targeting abrasive material forms letters and illustrations as it wears away the surface. Applying abrasive material with force also is useful for eliminating rust from metal surfaces, such as on old vehicles and sheds.
Sand Blasting in Connecticut develops these features on granite by forming crevices and allowing the color of the stone to function as the background. The crevice provides a shaded or lighter area that lets people view the letters and other features. If the shading or lightness is not sufficient because of the granite coloration, the workers can add slightly darker or lighter hues with specialized products.
Granite monuments are still a favoured form of memorializing individuals and historic points of interest. They are commonly found in parks and roadside historical markers. Visitors to these areas read the information carved into the stone and appreciate its traditional nature. In many cases, organizations decide to use wood or metal markers, but those materials simply do not convey the same gravitas as granite in any color. Granite has long been recognized for its durability against weather elements as well as for its dignified beauty. The color combinations that have occurred naturally are appealing and wide-ranging.
When viewing gravestones and other monuments that are hundreds of years old, people are often surprised by how well they can still read names, dates, and even phrases, as well as lines from poetry and scripture passages. Many of these headstones are not made of granite but of marble or even fieldstone or limestone. The added features typically were carved into the stone in a laborious hand-crafted process. Mechanical sandblasting performed in a methodical, precise manner allowed the features to be added in a less time-consuming way. This technique was not invented until the late 1800s. Now it’s offered by companies such as Shelley Brothers Monuments for various purposes. Learn more about us at your convenience.
