Natural Stone

Granite is not only beautiful but also a practical choice for your kitchen. Materials sold as granite in the UK encompasses a wide range of natural rocks with different structural and mineral compositions. Some lighter stones do require more maintenance than darker and denser options, but each stone is individual. Do ask our team for more information or see our informative Rapid Guide to Stone Materials. Materials sold as granite come in a wide range of colours. Here we show you a selection of some of the stones available. We hold a range of colours in stock but also buy in from a selection of wholesalers; please see our Industry Partners. Natural quartzites, formed by crystals of quartz fusing together under heat and pressure to create large crystal structures, are extremely hard but can also be a bit brittle. As with all natural materials, each stone has it’s own nature. Quartzites have gained popularity for their naturally more striated aesthetic than granite, and thanks to improvements in technology like our waterjet cutting machine, they are easier to cut than ever before. These exceptionally hard surfaces particularly lend themselves to Leathered and Satinato finishes bringing texture to any scheme.
