Granite from Dales of Thirsk is both beautiful and durable!

So it is reassuring to know that Granite is resistant to stains, heat and scratches - it is therefore a suitable everlasting material that looks stunning too. You can choose Granite that blends in with your décor - or Granite that provides a contrast, if a mix 'n' match design is to your taste. Each piece of Granite is unique so yours will always be individual and original to you. Consider Granite for worktops, floors and walls throughout your home.

Marble is also high on the popularity list for bathrooms - it is slightly more porous but again each stone has a unique appearance that lasts.

Slate – is a UK-sourced natural stone which gives a beautiful alternative to globally sourced Granite & Marble.

Limestones are used mainly for internal decorative work- Limestone swimming pool surrounds, Limestone steps, and Limestone windowsills. Some Limestones are sourced from Quarries in Yorkshire.

Price is always a consideration - but costs have come down making the natural stone a more affordable choice for you. Natural stone continues to provide excellent value and enjoyment for many generations into the future. And to finish...

Staron® 100% acrylic solid surfaces will enhance the appearance of any kitchen's counter tops. In addition to Staron®'s attractive appearance, Staron® products are functional, practical, and easy to maintain. Staron®'s is also nonporous with smooth, impenetrable seams, so bacteria and mould have nowhere to accumulate. Staron®'s applications do not end with kitchen counter tops and sinks.

Quartz stone worktops are made from minimum of 90% crushed mixed with acrylic resin and colour pigments. In some cases crushed mirror particles are added to give a sparkle effect.Quartz stone is real value for money, can be cut in a wide range of shapes and sizes and is easy to keep looking good. It is hard wearing and lasts, with little need for maintenance.

Silestone® is composed mostly of quartz, giving it exceptional toughness and hardness. It is non-porous, dense, does not need sealing and has a consistent colour throughout. Silestone® provides anti-bacterial protection with built-in Microban. Add to this – stain, heat and scratch resistance for an ideal material for all worktops.

Technistone® is a compact, hard, impervious, composite product with a wide range of applications in private, public and industrial sectors as floor tiles, wall tiles or mosaics. The use of carefully chosen raw materials ensures that the product is hard and strong. Technistone® is produced from high quality natural raw materials (quartz and granite) combined in some instances with mirror and glass granules, together with colour pigments, all bonded together with high quality polyester resin. The natural raw materials comprise more than 90% of the product to ensure hardness and scratch resistance and the resin binder is less than 10%.

Three decades vouch for the excellence of this product, which provides excellent solutions for both household environments and public areas. The fact is that MARMOL COMPAC has a versatility that broadens the applications of marble, allowing for the creation of new, uniform colours, as well as a wide range of formats and decorations: from small friezes with matching ornamental motifs to large pieces for frontages. MARMOL COMPAC is highly resistant to impact, yet in turn its reduced thickness means a lighter construction; and its almost inexistent porosity makes cleaning considerably easier.

For the professional fitter, the uniformity of MARMOL COMPAC means ease of handling and, thanks to the after-assembly polish, the unbeatable qualities of this product are an assurance of a brilliant finish.

For thirty years, MARMOL COMPAC Technological Marble has consolidated a prestige that has also extended to the QUARTZ COMPAC line. This elegant product of exceptional hardness and resistance to impact is ideal both for areas that have to withstand intense foot traffic as well as for household environments. Its minimal absorption, ease of cleaning and low maintenance make it a highly recommendable choice for bathrooms or kitchens, as it is extremely resistant to abrasion, acids, oils.

QUARTZ COMPAC possesses major aesthetic versatility, as its advanced R+D+i allows for the creation of a large array of designs, sizes, thicknesses, ornamentations, and exclusive colours that blend in with other materials, including MARMOL COMPAC products. The excellent QUARTZ COMPAC finishes and easy fitting are just two of the long list of advantages presented by this luxurious product.
