Granite

Granite is a natural, granular and crystalline stone that is durable and highly resistant to fractures and scratches. As a porous material, granite requires protection from staining, discolouration and deterioration, and because of its porosity, it may react to dark liquids or cleaning products that contain bleach, so it is therefore advisable to take care of the surface and use a trivet or a coaster whenever possible. Due to its natural character, this stone may have slight variations in colour or texture.

Glossy lacquer is the result of a long finishing process, since it is applied in several very thin layers. A lacquered surface beautifully reflects the shapes, movement and light that surrounds it.

Marble and Travertine

Marble and travertine relatively rare stones of great beauty. Each piece is unique, which is one of the most attractive features of these noble and natural materials. More porous than they appear, they require protection against stains, discolouration and deterioration. They are quite susceptible to staining liquids and household products that may discolour or damage their surface — especially if the stains are left on the surface for an extended period of time. The use of coasters is therefore recommended.
