Stone Facts

From Quarry to Artwork

Natural stones have been used well before Ancient Roman and Egyptian times and have also continued to last well throughout centuries into the millennium of today’s everyday usage of kitchen and bathroom surfaces. It’s remarkable that solid pieces of stone can still be pulled out of the ground in quarries right around the world, cut, then polished to give you the opportunity to have your very own piece of artwork in your home, from romantic places like Italy and Spain right through to exotic places like Brazil and many, many more.
The countries with largely the most commercial granite include Brazil, Finland, Norway, Spain, Sweden, India and several countries in southern Africa, such as Angola, Namibia and Zimbabwe.

We Supply, Manufacture And Install Quality Stone Surfaces To The Leading Building Companies In Cairns And Surrounding Regions.

Stone Benchtops
vs. Laminate

When you think about it, most people prefer to eat from a porcelain plate as opposed to a plastic one!

Chefs all over the world prefer traditional granite and marble for their pastry boards and stone benchtops.

Granite and marble’s natural ability to stay cool makes it an ideal flat surface for handling various types of pastry dough, including cookie dough, pie dough and bread dough.

Cool dough will not stick to the surface and is much easier to handle, cut and manipulate.
