Materials


Butterfly Green Close

Granite

Granite is formed by the solidification of magma in high temperature and high pressure conditions. From a physical point of view, granites are extremely compact and have high hardness (6-7 on the Mohs scale) and mechanical resistance values. Granite is resistant to wear, exposure to atmospheric agents, and pollution which leads to its heavy use in the building industry. Whether it's an indoor or outdoor project granite stands up well to the trials of time. It is perfect for projects such as countertops, monuments, wall and floor applications, pool and wall coping, stairs, window sills, and many other design projects.


White Carrara Close

Marble

Marble is a metamorphic rocks with a crystalline limestone structure formed by the combined action of high pressures and very high temperatures. Marble may be pure (metamorphic origin) or re-composed (sedimentary origin). Marble is not particularly hard (3-4 on the Mohs scale). The color of marble depends on the presence of mineral impurities (clay, silt, sand, iron oxides and flint/chert nodules); white marble does not contain these impurities. It is well suited for outdoor projects and excellent for indoor applications. Marble is perfect for projects such as countertops, wall and floor applications, pool and wall coping, stairs, window sills, and many other design projects.


Miele Travertine Close 1

Travertine

Travertine is a very porous sedimentary limestone, formed by the deposition of calcium carbonate and the subsequent decomposition of the vegetal components incorporated in the mass. It is by no means unusual to find imprints of plant and animal fossils. Incorporated oxides can give travertine colors ranging from milk white to walnut, passing through various shades from yellow to red. This material has reasonable mechanical properties and is widely used in buildings, since low hardness means it is very easy to work. It is excellent for exterior projects and well suited for interior applications. Travertine is perfect for projects such as countertops, wall and floor applications, wall coping, stairs, window sills, and many other design projects.


Texas Pink Close 1

Limestone & Slate

Thanks to Limestone and Slate's good mechanical features, these materials have historically been used as dimension stone as well as for decorative applications in capitals, plinths and friezes for places and buildings of particular importance. Limestone and Slate are perfect for projects such as countertops, wall and floor applications, wall coping, stairs, window sills, and many other design projects.


Red Onyx Close

Exotic Materials

Onyx is a sedimentary rock formed by the precipitation of calcium carbonate in very still underground settings (grottos). It is characteristically translucent with variegated veins of differing dimensions, generally having shades of brown, that give this marble a multi-colored appearance. Onyx has always been associated with decorations given its transparent and multi-color appearance; unique aesthetic effects can be achieved when onyx is back-lit with neon or led lighting. Onyx is essentially used in interiors.

Other Materials in this category be classified as marble, granite, or other types of stone but are a bit rarer and/or harder to obtain though their beauty is well worth it. These materials are excellent for projects such as countertops, wall and floor applications, pool and wall coping, stairs, window sills, and many other design projects.

Tuscan Dawn - 5104 - Caesarstone

Caesarstone

Caesarstone quartz products are our third offering in natural quartz. Originally based in Israel, Caesarstone evolved a new kind of work surface by adding quartz to the Bretonstone process.
