Being Stoned is a Good Thing

New South Wales, Australia (20 September, 2014) -- Being stoned with gorgeous granite or marble in a kitchen or bath makeover is definitely a good thing. Natural stone is the premier material for use in the best kitchens. Any time there is an opportunity to bring these wonderful materials into a home, it is a great day indeed.

Both marble and granite are durable and very distinctive. When brought into a home, a statement is made - a statement that says the homeowner is discerning and interested in the best of the best. Natural stone brings extra texture and color to modern or traditional design. It is strong and reliable as a surface material. Arciuli, Specialists in Stone are experts in providing the best marble, granite, and other natural stone surface materials to customers in New South Wales.

Marble is enormously popular for its strength and beauty. Some of the most icon structures in the world have employed marble as an integral part of the building structure and decoration. Including it in a modern private home is taking a step up on the scale of gracious living. It is always unique and has a classic, upscale profile for both kitchen countertops and for several surfaces in the bathroom. Marble is not maintenance free, however, and the potential buyer should be aware that it can be susceptible to scratching, staining, and etching. Arciuli makes sure that kitchen applications using marble have matt, or honed, surfaces which are recommended so that minor wear and tear isn't as visible as it would be if a high shine from polishing were done.

Granite most commonly comes from mountainous areas where it has been pushed up from the continental crust. Elements of granite include quartz, feldspar, and mica - these components are what give granite it's unique colors and textures. These mineral grains are displayed prominently throughout the stone, sometimes resembling a jigsaw puzzle in how the different elements mash up together. This mineral juxtaposition is part of what makes granite so strong and durable.

Unlike marble, granite is honed to a fine, high gloss finish which is possible only on really hard stone. This type of finish brings out the beauty and deepest colors or characters of the stone surface. This high polish brings out the veins of the different minerals and the variations in color. This polished exterior of a super hard stone offers the best advantage of being nearly impervious to minor staining or wear and tear. Granite is low maintenance as well as beautiful.

Of course, there are also man-made Engineered Stone surfaces available from Arciuli as well. These products that include Caesarstone, Silestone, Stone Italiana, Quantum Quartz, among others are made from quartz and other polymers with a high performance ratio. When created for surfaces, this material resists normal wear and tear.
