Granite

Granite has become the most popular stone choice for countertops and is quickly becoming the standard for new homes. The addition of granite is a great way to add elegance, luxury and value to your home. The increasing popularity of granite is due in fact to its natural beauty, strength, durability and resistance to heat and stains.

Granite is a natural stone product composed mainly of quartz, feldspars, micas and other minerals that melted into a liquid mass. Out of 10, granite rates between a 6 – 8 on the Moh’s scale (mineral hardness).

As granite is a natural stone product, each slab has its own unique characteristics and coloring. With access to over 160 colours, you are sure to find the perfect slab for your project. Granite can also be used for fireplace surrounds, hearths, showers, bathtubs and many more projects.
