Granite is a natural stone with such large variety, it has endless options. It is a very dense and hardwearing stone, perfect for use in construction as it can bear significant weights and pressures.
Granite is perfect in high traffic areas, due to its low absorption rating, it withstands the forces of nature and is generally slip and weather resistant. Due to the mottled fleck within most granites, it is forgiving of stains and daily abrasions, making seamless for the home and flooring.
