Granite

Probably the most traditional choice for stone surface work, granites offer the best compromise between value and hard wearing properties.  

Available in varying finishes such as honed, polished and leathered, granites come in a wide variety of shades, tones and styles. 

Granite has a crystalline or granular structure consisting primarily of quartz, feldspar and other minerals. It can have minerals or features which present in shades of all colours but particularly metallic or crystalline flecking. 

With these properties it is possible to have many options from subtle and subdued to statement pieces. 

In terms of durability granite in general presents the best durability of natural stone products and is extremely hard wearing over time. It requires minimal sealing and will provide you with an exceptional surface that will last for many years to come. 

Granite is suitable for use in benchtops, cladding, bathrooms, fireplaces and is also commonly used as a great choice for outdoor areas.
