Granite is an igneous rock, which means it was once molten and formed as it cooled deep within the earth.
Minerals within granite typically appear as small flecks throughout the stone, once creating a "salt and pepper" look.
Other types have veining similar to marble. Granite is a dense-grained, hard stone. Granite can be highly polished or finished
in a variety of other ways. A broad spectrum of color is available.
Most common uses for Granite
Granite's durability and longevity make it ideal for kitchen worktops and other heavily used surfaces,
including table tops and floors, interior and exterior wall cladding, interior and exterior paving, residential
& commercial worktops, monuments, curbing or statuary.
Granite Facts
- Granite is nearly impossible to scratch. In most cases you will dull your knives before you
scratch your worktop.
- Granite accepts hot pots and pans right from your oven/burner without a trace of scorching.
- Once sealed, granite will not stain under normal everyday use, if ever.
- Granite does not harbor bacteria.
- The granite surface is not affected by citric acid, coffee, tea, alcohol, wine, etc.
- Generally granite lasts forever.
Since all granites are made by nature, no two are the same. All slabs should be reviewed and approved
for each project. Polish Granite guarantees that the granite used for your worktops will all come from
the same bundle, assuring that all surfaces will match in color and pattern.
Engineered Quartz is an artificial stone which consists of 94% quartzite and other additives such like resin, natural detritus, mineral pigment and so on made by high vacuum pressing, doffing mould, drying and solidifying, calibrating, polishing and cutting. It is perfect materials for construction with light quality, high intensity, and high resistance to staining, corrosive, and easy construct since its nature stone texture and character which can be controlled by human. Engineered Quartz is widely used in kitchen counter top, counters in pubs and bars, washing basin counters, window counters, classical bathroom, wall and floor tiles, luxury commercial places, and many others.

Marble has both a scientific and commercial definition. Scientific marble was once limestone that achieved metamorphosis from intense pressures and high temperatures within the earth. This altered its crystalline structure and introduced other minerals that produced the valuable colors and veining. Commercially, any stone capable of taking a polish (with the exception of granite) is known as marble. This includes travertine, onyx, serpentine and limestone.
Most common uses for Marble
Interior and exterior wall cladding, Interior and exterior paving, Fireplace facing and hearth, Lavatory tops, Residential & Commercial worktops, Table Tops, Statuary, Novelty items, etc.
Marble Facts
- Stains and scratches easily.
- A porous material, marble requires proper periodic resealing with a penetrating sealer to prevent staining.
- Heat- and water-resistant.
- Works well in very small areas for specific tasks.
- Available in honed, matte, and polished finishes.
