Natural stone worktops created from the likes of limestone, quartzite and slate offer a unique touch to any space. While each may have its own set of characteristics, these three products do have one important quality in common: they are more environmentally friendly than heavily manufactured options.
Formed in warm and shallow waters,
limestone
is a vast sedimentary rock that can accumulate shells, coral, and even fossils. With a durable foundation and rustic appearance, limestone is the perfect choice for floor tiles,
kitchen worktops, stairs, and other areas of your bathroom or kitchen.
Created under immense heat and pressure,
quartzite
is moulded into a metamorphic rock from an original sandstone. During this transformation process, the stone compresses leaving behind an extraordinarily strong and unique natural stone. Unlike granite worktops, quartzite is further resistant to stains, all while forming a beautiful and colourful surface. This type of stone is perfect for renovation projects in
kitchens
and
bathrooms.
Composed of clay and volcanic ash,
slate
is derived from an original shale sedimentary rock. Due to its properties, slate has high level of heat resistance, however the fine grain surface is prone to scratching. This type of natural stone is perfect for hearths and
fireplace surroundings.
As a local, family-owned business for over 20 years, we have taken immense pride in supplying a vast selection of high-quality natural stone to both commercial and domestic clients.
