Marble

What is Marble?

Marble is a timeless and classic natural stone that has been used in home design for centuries. Its characteristic swirls and veins give it a unique look that can match any style of home or decor.

Why Choose Marble?

Marble is one of the most durable and heat-resistant stones. It can be used for countertops, fireplace surrounds and flooring. Marble comes in a wide range of colours; no two marble slabs are ever identical. Marble prices can vary depending on the type, but exotic marbles are usually more expensive due to their rarity. Seal your marble annually to avoid staining and wear. Also, be careful when using acidic substances which can etch the surface.

Granite

What is Granite?

The natural beauty and durability of Granite makes it a popular choice for kitchen and bathroom surfaces. As a natural material, it has irregular patterns with substantial variation between slabs. This adds to its unique character.

Why Choose Granite?

Granite is extremely hard and stain resistant. Each slab is unique, hard, durable, and scratch-resistant. Impervious to stains, heat, and water when sealed. Custom granite is favoured since it is relatively easy to clean, comes in many colours and is an ideal natural stone for all countertop locations. Fireplace surrounds made of granite are also very popular for the same reasons; they are beautiful and add value to your home. When choosing granite for your home improvements keep in mind that no two pieces are alike so each granite slab will be unique.
