Our business is to enhance the beauty of your home through stone. Granite, Marble and Quartz surfaces are superior materials for counters and floors, combining elegance with extraordinary practicality.

Quartz

Quartz is crystallised silica dioxide (SiO2), it is normally white or transparent, although it can appear in many other colours. It can be found in its pure state or be present in other components. Its high durability and resistance to acids means it can be used in the manufacturing of a very wide range of precision and high performance products. Quartz is the main component of Silestone slabs. Quartz countertops don't just offer you amazing durability and a good-looking kitchen or bathroom finish.

Marble

Marble is a limestone or a dolomite that has recrystallized. Marbles are usually light in colour, but many exception to this generalisations are found. The presence of oxides of iron and graphite accounts for a wide range of colours and delicate markings. Marble is known to scratch and stain and is therefore not the best choice for worktops in kitchen. It is often used in bathrooms mostly because the colour of the marbles lends itself of the more serene environment. Cleaning is easy, just use soap and water, remember never to use ammonia based cleaning products as this will lessen the shine of the marble over time.
