Natural Stone - Marble, Granite and Quartzite
Marble, granite and quartzite get progressively stronger in that order, and the choice between them is often determined in a trade-off between desired look and feel, and longevity.
Marble is ideally suited for bathroom tops, walls and flooring. Marble's uniqueness makes it desirable for kitchen tops, but care and maintenance need to be a consideration when choosing this stone.
Granite is a highly popular stone choice for worktops. It’s stylish, luxurious and adds a quality feel to the kitchen. It’s also durable and functional — two of the most important qualities you want in a worktop.
Quartzite has similar if not stronger physical-mechanical features than granite. Quartzite is suitable for both internal and external applications depending on the particular type. Quartzite can uniquely offer colours and veining similar to that of marble with the added benefit of the hardness of granite, making this the ideal kitchen benchtop material.
