Granite has long been regarded as the material that defines elegance. Its performance however has been surpassed by Quartz (Engineered Stone). The quality of Granite is inconsistent and a large amount of substandard material ends up being sold as premium product. Only shops which adhere to the highest standards now can be relied upon to handle this material properly.
