Frequently asked questions

Which is better, man made stone or natural stone?

Engineered stone (man made) has an advantage that the colour is constant. It is available in many colours. Almost all the engineered stone these days come with a 10 year warranty from the supplier so you have piece of mind when purchasing.
Natural stone is timeless. It will never date. It is full of character. Each piece is unique. It can be used anywhere in or out doors.
Only your application will determine what is the better suited surface.

Is granite more expensive than marble?

No, not necessarily, some of the scarce marbles are more expensive than the readily available granites.

What determines the price of a Stone?

Basically the cost of the stone is due to availability of the material from the quarries worldwide. Marble merchants through out the world buy blocks from the different quarries. The blocks are checked for impurities, inclusions or inconsistencies. The stone is graded, filled, polished and calibrated.
