Tips - Granite Worktops
1. Ask a professional to remove or repair a scratch in
granite.
2. Use coasters under all glasses, particularly those containing alcohol or citrus juices. Many common foods and drinks contain acids that will etch or dull the
worktop surface.
3. Do not place hot items directly on the stone surface. Use trivets or mats under hot dishes and placemats under china, ceramics, silver or other objects that could scratch the granite surface.

Granite Tile
China has become a serious factor in the world markets in granite tiles especially in greys, pink and other light colours. Its fast increasing presence has sharply accelerated the trend of lower prices.
