What is Granite?


Granite is a stone that defies time, an igneous rock formed millions of years ago that is derived from molten masses or magmas.

Granite has a timeless beauty. Thanks to its practical characteristics, a solid granite worktop will add quality and style to any kitchen. Its distinctive, highly polished surface will provide a durable and an exceptionally heatproof surface, a quality unrivaled by wood, veneers and other man-made products.

  • Granite is tough – as one of the hardest materials, it is far harder that marble
  • Granite has a gloss finish, when polished, which is durable and lasts many years
  • Granite is waterproof
  • Granite is scratch resistant
  • Granite is heat resistant
  • Granite keeps it color
  • Granite is easy to clean.

Granite has many other uses, such as for fireplaces, wall tiles and floor tiles. For outdoor use, granite is ideal, as it withstands all weather conditions. Gardens get that modern touch, and for memorials it represents a fitting tribute to our loved ones.
