Stone is the choice of many designers, adding character and warmth to any room. Sourced from the earth, stone is made from a number of minerals, typically including 20% quartz. All stone has natural variations in colour, veining and speckling for a one-of-a-kind surface. It’s naturally resistant to heat and water and, with our 25-year sealant and minimal care, it can stand the test of time.
