NEWS & EVENTS

Daniel & Fernando, along with all of us at Brothers in Granite are pleased to invite you to our 15th Anniversary Party on September 8th at our headquarters in Vitoria!  Our customers have been instrumental in the growth and success of our business and now is our chance to give thanks and celebrate with you!

To that end, we invite you to fill out the RSVP form at this link.  Similar conditions apply to our popular “Travel to Brazil with Brothers in Granite” program - airfare will be reimbursed with a container purchase while hotel accommodations and ground transportation for you and a guest will be provided (check out the program details specific for the Anniversary below).

In addition to enjoying the party we’ll have an abbreviated version of our visitors program offered. We’ll still show you some other local factories and quarries but this is your opportunity to see the improvements we’ve been able to make in our business because of YOUR support and trust and of course, see the rest of beautiful Vitoria.

We expect a large number of our friends from around the world to be there to help us celebrate and we really hope that you’ll be there too.  We couldn’t have achieved our success without you and now we’re excited to show our appreciation.

RSVP now and join us on September 8th!

Trip Program - Special Anniversary 15 Years 
How many days to stay?
We believe 5 days in Vitoria is perfect for a full experience.

See the schedule below:
Leave USA on Saturday (09/03) and arrive in Vitoria the next day -  Sunday (09/04) - Please buy your air tickets for leaving USA on 09/03 and arriving in Vitoria (VIX) on 09/04)
Day 1 (Sunday 09/04) — Arrival in Vitoria.  We’ll pick you up at the airport and take you to your hotel near the beach and have a meal at one of our favorite local restaurants.
Day 2 (Monday 09/05) — Tour our factory 20 minutes from your hotel.  We’ll explain our production process and you can hand-pick your slabs.
Day 3 (Tuesday 09/06) — Travel to other nearby factories to see materials that we don’t stock and meet the owners of those factories. Yes, we’ll take you to our competitors too! We believe in a united stone industry and by having other options will make your choice of buying from us a more legitime act than an obligated one.
Day 4 (Wednesday 09/07) — Travel to Cachoeiro (2.5 hours by car) and visit quarries there.
Day 5 (Thursday 09/08) — Party Day! We can go back to Brother´s Warehouse to finish orders details (or day off for those who prefer to stay nearby the Hotel instead) + party at Brothers at 4pm.

Price: Each surface material ranges in price, some being more dramatic than others. Read on to find out which countertops are the cheapest and which are the most expensive.

Durability: There are a few primary factors to consider when discussing the durability of a kitchen countertop: heat resistance, scratch resistance and chemical resistance. How a surface is affected by these factors will determine how long it is likely to look brand new without the need for extensive maintenance.

Easily Cleaned and Maintained? This is a simple yes or no question but a very good one to consider when selecting the right surface for your countertop. If you plan on cooking regularly in your kitchen, you will want something for which is easy to care. Some families use their kitchen as more of a gathering place than a work surface, in which case, the answer to this question might not be as important.

Construction: What is your countertop made of?

Can you set a hot pan on the surface without damage? A green thumbs up means that yes, you can take your cookie sheet out of the oven and set in on your countertop without worrying about scorching or melting the surface. A red thumbs down means that you should always use a trivet or hot pad.

Should you expect scratches and regular maintenance? Softer countertop surfaces will inevitably get scratched from time to time. With some materials, regular maintenance can remove the scratches to keep your kitchen looking new. A green thumbs down means your countertop won’t easily scratch so you don’t need to worry about regular maintenance. A red thumbs up means you should expect some scratches over time.

Is it easy to find in a wide range of colors? A green thumbs up means this countertop is available from numerous manufacturers/distributors in many colors and patterns. A red thumbs down means that the surface does not come in a wide variety of colors or has limited availability.

Color Variations: The collection of photos in the infographic above highlights common colors of each countertop material to give you an idea of what your kitchen might look like with this surface installed. Please note that many variations exist within each countertop category.

"Hi Fernando, We recd the container and unloaded the materials. I would like to thank you and appreciate you for your efforts towards packing and shipping. The bundles came in pretty good and there was absolutely no leaning of the bundles, which made it very safe to unload. Your practice of putting the metal piece in the bottom and the wood extensions is a very good practice. Pls. keep up the great work."
