Why Granite for Fireplaces?
Heat Resistance
Granite formed at extremely high temperatures, so it handles the heat of a fireplace without cracking, scorching or discolouring under normal use.
Durability
It resists scratches, chips and wear from logs, tools and daily life.
Low Maintenance
Granite is easy to clean. Dark granites hide soot and ash.
Beauty
From sparkling black to wavy brown and shimmering blue, granite creates a striking focal point.
Safety
A granite hearth protects floors from sparks and embers.
