Tiles Granite

Granite is classified as an igneous rock. It is formed when hot magma from the earth's core cools very slowly and crystallizes. The mineral grains that are formed are large enough to be clearly distinguishable; interlocked like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. This is what makes Granite very strong and durable - ideal for building and construction.

Granite is a popular material for surfaces subject to many and varied impacts, such as kitchen benches and vanities, steps and floors in 'high traffic' areas.
Some granites have a quite spectacular appearance and are used for their visual impact, such as on facades.
