Stones
Granite
Granite is an igneous rock with coarse grains, commonly found in white, red, pink or grey colour. It is formed from the slow crystallisation of magma below Earth's surface. Granite is hard and tough, making it resistant to wear and scratches. Granite has been a popular choice in many interior and exterior applications due to its elegance and durability.
Marble
Marble is a metamorphic rock that is formed when limestone is subjected to heat and pressure. Marble can come in a variety of colour such as blue, grey, pink, yellow, black or white, depending on the impurities found in it. Marble is widely used for sculpture and as a building material due to its aesthetics appearance.
Limestone
Limestone is a carbonate sedimentary rock and is a popular choice in architecture, especially in the late 19th early 20th century. Limestone is long-lasting and stands up well to exposure.
Sandstone
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock formed under water and land bodies through sedimentation and compaction. It is resistance to weathering, beautiful texture and versatile nature makes it a popular construction material choice . It is a popular choice to make tiles for bathroom, counter tops for kitchens and outdoor structures such as columns and gates.
Onyx
Onyx is formed from spring water or groundwater that has an abundance of calcite dissolved in it. It has a sparkly translucence appearance, which can help to bring light into a space, especially when the stone is backlit.
Travertine
Travertine is a form of limestone deposited by mineral springs, especially hot springs. Travertine is one of the most frequently used stones in modern architecture. It is commonly used for façades, wall cladding, and flooring.
Terrazzo
Terrazzo is a composite material, poured in place or precast, which is used for floor and wall treatments. It consists of chips of marble, quartz, granite, glass, or other suitable material, poured with a cementitious binder (for chemical binding), polymeric (for physical binding), or a combination of both, resulting in a durable and visually appealing product.
Quartz
Engineered stone quartz is actually made from a mix of quartz aggregate chips bound together with plastic resins. Its texture can be fine or coarse, depending on how it is processed, and can be combined with glass and other reflective materials for a sparkling finish. They are increasingly popular in high-end applications combining the benefits of granite’s durability and non-porous nature of quartz.
