First things first, what is granite?

Granite is the most widely known plutonic rock of the Earth's crust and is a hard, fairly grained igneous rock rich in feldspar and quartz. It is formed by the deep cooling of the magma (silicate melt). Since its origin lies in nature, each stone slab seems to appear distinct and unique from one another. Why choose granite stone for your home?

Granite stones are the most versatile products available in a wide range of colours such as white, black, grey, green, red, brown, and blue.
The white granite and black granite, both being the most popular picks, serve to enhance the luxe and elegance of the premises.
Its natural origin gives each stone a distinctive appearance.
Its characteristics include being scratch and heat resistant, outstandingly durable and strong, plus its versatility is unparalleled.
The best thing about granite is that it requires minimum maintenance when sealed; you only need a granite-friendly cleaner and a damp cloth to keep the surface clean.
