Granite has been recognised throughout the ages as one of the foremost materials, representing quality and good taste. Its beauty and elegance stems from the fact that every stone is unique and can never be duplicated; you are always assured of a combination of subtle veining, texture and colour. The hardness and low porosity of the stone makes it an ideal material for flooring. It is very easy to clean and maintain due to the fact that it can be polished to such an elegant and smooth finish. The high level of tolerance to heat means that it is also ideal for such practical applications as cooker and worktop splashbacks.
