OUR PRODUCTS Marbles Marble is a metamorphic limestone. It is made of more than 90% calcite (a crystalline form of calcium carbonate, CaCO3). The remaining 10% of “impurities” grant the many different varieties, their peculiar colours and characteristics. Marble can be translucent, red, white, brown, green, black and grey. It can have spots, swirls or veins or uniform colours. One of the principal properties of this natural stone is its ability to achieve a natural glasslike polish without the need of waxes or other chemical compounds. Marble is polished by abrasion until it reaches its natural glossy lustre and as long as it is well cared for, this luxurious finish can last for centuries. Granite Granite is a natural stone product. Our earth is estimated to be more than 4 billion years old and its believed that when earth was forming it was like a hot and liquid ball of rock. Once this hot and liquid ball of rock cooled, three types of rocks were formed. These three types of rocks are called ‘metamorphic’, ‘sedimentary’ and ‘igneous’. Granite is the third category, which is igneous rocks. These igneous rocks were created deep below the surface of earth when the magma cooled and therefore granite is one of the hardest forms of rocks and also crystalline in nature. Granite has different minerals present in it but two major components are quartz and feldspar. Granite is also igneous and plutonic in nature. This means that it began as a molten liquid state that solidified as it cooled. The texture of Granite is determined by the rate in which it was cooled. Granite which formed closer to the earths surface cooled more quickly resulting in granite with smaller crystals and are usually darker in colour. Similarly, granite formed near the earths core composed larger crystals and therefore cooled more slowly and usually is lighter in colour. Granite comes in a variety of shades and colours. From blues, black, greens, reds, browns, yellows, pinks and whites. Due to the strength and beautiful array of these colours, granite lends itself well for many applications in both commercial and residential construction. Sandstone Sandstone as we may know is a sedimentary rock composed of small grains cemented by felspathic, siliceous, or calcareous cementing material. Sandstones is a extremely hard and tough material and consists of consolidated masses of sand deposited by moving water or by wind. We have a wide range on impressive colours and patterns available. We offer a splendid variety of Sandstone including Kandla Grey, Desert Yellow Brown, Autumn Brown, Raj Green, Raveena, Lalitpur Yellow, etc. Some of these are readily available in stock and others can be arranged on order. We also have an extensive collection of quality and innovative paving stones. The manufacturer of all these products continuously monitor and maintain an excellent product quality with high ethical and environmental standards. Stone Veneer Stone Veneers have been used in a number of distinct and unique applications including building facades, interior walls, flooring, shower walls, columns and much more. Its a primary choice for many due to the products ease of installation and also the unique ability to apply the product in areas where stone or masonry previously would not have been considered. Some other areas where Stone Veneers have also been used are for the manufacturing of outdoor/indoor planters, residential or commercial water features and automotive, marine and RV paneling. Benefits Layers upon layers on earth’s materials for millions of years have formed various metamorphic rock layers which we call slate, mica and sandstone. We all know that these stones are durable and used for floors and patios cut only with diamond saws and mortared into places and also usually grouted along the edges. These stone are generally easy to work with, but quite heavy and also improbable in many applications. These solid natural stones have been the only practical means of creating that real stone look until now. Veneer is a flexible, lightweight, colourful and unique with unlimited application possibilities. The introduction of this exciting new material addresses a large need for a adaptable, durable, flexible and also weather resistant stone veneer. Green and Sustainable In literal terms in may not sound green but because of the extremely light weight of stone veneer, Transportation cost, fuel and space cost are saved in normal shipping and handling as compared to other natural stone or tile products. Savings in packaging materials are an added advantage when compared to stone or tile products. Veneer is also a very sustainable product and because of its unique manufacturing process, each sheet represents just a thin layer of the natural stone.
