What is Granite?
Granite is a durable igneous rock that occurs naturally in various locations around the world, often forming in large, impressive formations. Once quarried, the substantial blocks of natural granite are carefully cut into slabs and polished to achieve a smooth finish using advanced diamond grinders. This meticulous process enhances the stone's unique beauty, bringing out its rich colours and distinctive patterns.
The benefits of Granite
It is natural so each piece has its own individual beauty and character and it is available in a wide range of colours, textures and patterns
It is polished to provide a naturally shiny finish
It is highly resistant to physical damage through scratches and abrasion and it is highly resistant to damage from extreme temperatures
It is fairly low maintenance and is suitable for use in contemporary or classical kitchens and bathrooms.
Granite is naturally porous and therefore can be vulnerable to staining.
We seal all granite countertops, cladding, splashbacks sinks and shower trays on installation to help resist staining and recommend that it is properly maintained thereafter.
