Properties of Granite Kitchen and Bathroom Worktops

Granite is a natural rock and is subject to colour and texture variation - this is what makes them unique!

Granite is an igneous rock formed from cooling magma. Granite is quarried throughout the world, with colors and patterns that indicate the region and the geological conditions that created it. Each granite slab is unique, with random and inconsistent patterns providing such a beautiful and classic appearance.
