Granite

What is Granite?


Granite is an igneous natural stone, formed from cooled and solidified magma deep within the Earth's crust. This slow cooling process results in an extremely dense, hard-wearing material with a unique speckled appearance. Granite’s high strength, durability, and resistance to wear make it ideal for driveways, outdoor paving, commercial spaces, and benchtops.


Why Choose Granite?


✅ Extremely Hard-Wearing – Highly resistant to wear and scratches.
✅ Low Maintenance – Requires minimal upkeep compared to other natural stones.
✅ Slip-Resistant Options – Available in flamed and textured finishes for outdoor use.
✅ Resistant to Stains & Weathering – Ideal for driveways, pathways, and commercial spaces.


Where is Granite Best Used?


📌 Driveways & High-Traffic Areas – Withstands heavy vehicle and foot traffic.
📌 Outdoor Paving & Courtyards – A long-lasting and stylish solution.
📌 Wall Cladding & Feature Walls – Adds durability and a sleek aesthetic.
📌 Benchtops & Kitchen Surfaces – Heat-resistant and scratch-proof.

How to Maintain Granite

🔹 Sealing: Recommended to protect against staining and moisture absorption.
🔹 Cleaning: Use a mild stone cleaner; avoid harsh chemicals.
🔹 Regular Care: Sweep and hose down periodically to remove dust and debris.
