Understanding Material
Choosing the right stone is about more than just aesthetics. It is about matching the
material’s properties to your lifestyle.
Natural Stone: Granite & Marble
Natural Stone like Granite, Marble, and Quartzite is quarried from the earth. Every slab is unique, offering a one-of-a-kind fingerprint for your home.
Granite is an igneous rock formed from cooling magma. It is exceptionally hard, heat resistant, and less porous than marble, making it the ideal choice for busy kitchens.
Marble is a metamorphic rock famous for elegant veining. It is softer and more porous than granite and develops a natural patina over time. Traditionalists cherish this characteristic, though it requires more care in high-traffic areas.
Engineered Quartz Worktops
Engineered Quartz is a man-made surface created by combining approximately 90% ground natural quartz with high-quality polymer resins. This manufacturing process produces a material that is even harder than granite and completely non-porous.
The primary advantage of Quartz is its aesthetic consistency. Unlike natural stone, the sample you select will be an exact match to the slab installed in your home. Because it is non-porous, these worktops require no sealing and are highly resistant to stains from wine, oils, and common household liquids. This makes Quartz a perfect, low-maintenance solution for modern kitchen designs.
Sintered Stone Worktops
Sintered Stone represents the latest evolution in surface technology. It is created by mimicking the natural metamorphic process that rocks undergo over thousands of years, accelerated through extreme heat and pressure.
The result is a high-performance material that is completely impervious to heat, allowing you to place hot pans directly on the surface. Sintered Stone is also UV stable and exceptionally scratch-resistant, making it a premier choice for both high-traffic indoor kitchens and outdoor living spaces.
