What do Roman bridges, the Pyramids and cathedrals have in common? Granite of course! Many ancient and historic buildings use granite to create a core of strength at their centres. As granite can be polished to a beautiful sheen or clad in another stone, it was commonly used for supporting pillars.

Polished granite is a stunning natural stone, and is often used alongside marble in stone floors. While marble often has very striking veining, granite typically has a more subtle patterning making the two stones perfect complements.

Granite paving slabs are ideal for use outdoors as they are very tough and weather-resistant. Many people are surprised at the number of shades of granite that are available – paving slabs come in a wide range of hues, from red to green, as well as the well known greys and blacks.
