Granite Granite is very heavy (understatement of the year) and is not suitable for DIY installation. We recommend you make use of our professional templating and installation service There is nothing quite like the beauty of solid granite kitchen worktops. Aeons old, each piece is unique. No one will have a worktop the same as yours. Truly exclusive, the subtle colours and patterns in each piece of polished granite can never be repeated and will give your project that ‘wow factor’ like no other material. Formed from slowly cooled magma from deep under the earth’s crust naturally combined with different minerals some granites have a depth to their colour that is unachievable in any man made material.

All our tops are cut from full size slabs. |
Engineered Stone Engineered stone is a man made alternative to solid granite. Using 93% natural stone particles, quartz and colouring in a resin matrix, engineered stones combine the best properties of granite and other solid surface products such as Corian. Less brittle than granite it is highly scratch resistant and non porous making it ideal for kitchen worktops. Colours can be brighter and are more consistent than granite. We use Technistone and Caesarstone. Quartzlite is a new process combining a 12mm surface of Engineered stone bonded onto a lightweight but stiff substrate. This combined with the clean jointing properties of engineered stone allows us to make tops 80mm thick whilst having a sensible weight, an important consideration in these health and safety conscious times!
