Consistent granite contains the same pattern throughout the slab. Of course, in a natural material you will always have a few areas with inclusions of feldspar or mica, \u201cbreaks in the pattern.\u201d Consistent granite slabs are easier to join with seams. For the most part, any fabricated piece can fit next to another fabricated piece without losing a sense of flow or continuity.<\/p>\n

Variegated slabs are those with movement or veining and are a favorite of many due to their uniqueness and personality. Veining will have a swirling pattern in the slab, predominantly of a different color or a group of varying colors quite different than the rest of the slab. Variegated slabs offer the advantage of allowing your kitchen to become a unique, one of a kind showpiece.<\/p>\n
Good granite worktops<\/strong>, well-selected and professionally installed can give almost any home that luxurious, glossy home-magazine look. Granite just screams class, sophistication and sheer, natural beauty. There is something raw and timeless about having a big slab of rock in the otherwise very angular environment of the kitchen.<\/p>\n
Building a home or remodeling a kitchen is one of the biggest investments we will make in our lives. So it makes sense to choose the highest-quality worktops and fittings that our budget can handle. Not only that, but the kitchen is a major element of a home or apartment\u2019s valuation. When you want to sell it one day, the kitchen\u2019s fittings, condition and style will be a very significant factor in the home\u2019s overall market value. Investing in good worktops always pays off handsomely on the property market. It will essentially pay for itself after a few years and make the property easier to sell.<\/p>\n
Many customers seem to have some niggling reservations about Granite as a material for worktops. Well the short answer is: \u201cThere is no reason to worry.\u201d It is extremely tough, and if you do somehow manage to chip the surface, it is easy and inexpensive to fix. Granite is one of the hardest substances on the planet with a 7 on Mohr\u2019s hardness rating (diamond being a 10). This is why we use diamond-tipped tools to cut, shape and polish it. Our granite worktops are made from one, solid slab and are totally immune to boiling-hot pots and liquids that would usually stain other surfaces. After an evening of use, all that\u2019s needed is a soapy cloth, a good wipe and it\u2019s clean.<\/p>\n
While granite comes in many gorgeous, deep, natural colours like cream and brown, it can also be found in more eye-catching shades like green or blue. In fact, it is available in over 1000 colours and each slab is completely unique. No two pieces of granite will have the same combination of markings, whirls, speckles or lines. This makes it ideal to offset the flat, opaque colours of the rest of your kitchen such as the walls, cupboards and tiles. It adds an organic, natural feel to a modern kitchen, which livens it up and adds some warmth and personality. This is one of the major reasons it has become such a popular feature in shopping centres, banks and hotels. Having said that, it also works well in more traditional kitchens too.<\/p>\n
