Family: Marble
Sheet Thicknesses Available: 30mm
Finish: Polished

Key Features
Natural & Unique
Granite is a natural product and no two pieces are the same. Giving you a truly unique worktop
Easy to Clean
Granite work surfaces are easy to clean. It is fairly low maintenance and once sealed it doesn’t stain easily
Heat Resistant
Granite is heat resistant, so no need to worry about those hot pots and pans when you are cooking
Historic and Unique Beauty
Marble has been valued throughout history for its unique beauty, relative homogeneity and appearance that does not change with the direction in which it lies, known as “isotropy.” Marble allows light to actually penetrate its surface, sometimes by several millimetres before scattering, giving marble a unique “waxy” appearance. Marble & Limestone has been used in sculpturing, construction, flooring, wall cladding and work surfaces for many centuries and remains as desirable, relevant and fashionable today.
