Granite is known for its classic elegance, durability, character, and strength. It has high acid resistance and is far less likely to scratch than softer stone surfaces, and is less likely to stain. One of the interesting things about granite is that while some varieties can have consistency in pattern, others can vary significantly from block to block, making each piece of granite unique.

Granite is a type of igneous rock mainly composed of quartz and feldspar. That unique mix gives granite its characteristic speckled ‘granular’ or spotted look as part of the natural pattern composition. It also means that granite can have a range of different colours and tints – from creamy white to deep black to speckled gray and even bright blue and salmon-pink – all part of what makes granite so attractive.
