GRANITE
Granite is the oldest and most resistant natural stone. It has become one of the most popular and reliable building materials in modern construction; from kitchen surfaces through to monuments. It provides timeless elegance whilst being incredibly sturdy and reliable.
Granite is available in a wide range of colours and is in most cases an excellent material for internal and external building use. The veining and colour varies considerably. A small sample of the stone may not be representative of the whole slab therefore we recommend swatch samples to be approved for larger projects.
