Stone Work Surface Options

Marble

A classic choice for kitchen worktops although it's not as hard wearing as other natural stones and requires regular sealing and can be prone to chipping and scratching if not looked after properly. From distinctive veining patterns such as Calacatta and Arabesque to more subtle veining such as Carrara there really is something for every design scheme. 

Granite

A hard wearing beautiful stone granite has been the most popular choice of stone worktops for kitchens due to its durability and wide array of patterns and colours. Granite  is easy to maintain and comes in different finishes such as polished, honed and leathered. Granite is the ideal choice for a busy family kitchenQuartzite: Similar to granite but harder and denser and more scratch resistant.  Also quartzite is available in light colours that combine the beauty of marble with the durability of granite.  Quartzite has become increasingly popular recently for both residential kitchen installations and high use commercial applications. 

Limestone

Known for its smooth, matte finish and sometimes subtle veining. We do not recommend limestone for kitchen worktops as it is too soft and porous.  It is a great choice for vanity tops and bathroom panels

Slate

Only available in dark colours ranging from dark charcoal to muted greens and blues. Slate scratches very easily and is used mostly for fire hearths and wall cladding.
