Granite

Granite is a very durable, natural material ideal for kitchen worktops, bathroom surfaces, fireplace fire surrounds and hearths, and flooring, perfect for busy family homes and businesses. It comes in a wide variety of colours – whites, blacks, greys, greens, blues, pinks, browns, golds, creams, oranges, and is easy to clean and maintain.

Marble

Marble is more porous than granite and quartz but with proper care and attention, a marble worktop, bathroom surface or staircase can look beautiful for years and years.

Composite Quartz

Composite quartz is a man-made or engineered surface developed to be a durable surface for busy homes and businesses. It consists of crushed quartz, the second most common mineral on Earth, mixed with resins to create a huge variety of textures and colours. There are a huge number of brands who make and supply composite quartz and so each come with slightly different durability properties. If you have any questions or concerns Coulon Stone can contact the manufacturer for you.

Slate

Slate is perfect for bathroom surfaces including shower trays and floor tiles because of its non-slip texture, but slate is a strong and sturdy natural material that can also work very well as a rustic kitchen worktop or fire surround.

Limestone

Limestone is more porous than granite and quartz, however works well in bathrooms and fire surrounds which are less exposed to staining.
