GraniteGranite is a tremendously strong versatile and durable natural stone, so many of the structures in which granite has been used over the centuries are still standing proud. Granite is an igneous rock that is cooled at depth in the Earth's crust with the slow cooling causing the main minerals of granite to grow to easily visible sizes. As such, granites come in a multitude of often-unexpected and fascinating colours. Granite consists of quartz, hornblende, biotite, muscovite and minor accessory minerals such as magnetite, garnet, zircon and apatite. Granite is a very hard stone that can be used in numerous applications inside or out. It is ideal for use as kitchen worktops or as flooring. Its non-porous structure makes it ideal for busy working kitchens, hallways and cloakrooms. Difficult to scratch, its highly polished surface is virtually indestructible. |
