Stone Style can offer a wide range of man-made granites, offering all the qualities of natural granite. Man-made granites are achieved by mixing crushed quartz or marble with 8% of polyester resin which is then vacuum pressed into slabs.
Organic and inorganic colours are blended with various components such as glass, mirror chips, metal shavings and mother
of pearl creating a distinctive alternative product to natural granite.
Man-made granites’ distinctive character makes it ideal for either the traditional or contemporary kitchens and is available as both tiles and tailored worktops.
