RMS Natural Stone provides an extensive range of granite tiles suitable for a variety of applications in residential and commercial environments.
Granite is formed when hot magma from the earth's core cools very slowly and crystallizes. The mineral grains that are formed are large enough to be clearly distinguishable; interlocked like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. This gives the Granite a strong and durable composition making it ideal for building and construction.
Colour of the Granite is mostly determined by the main mineral ingredients of quartz, alkali and plagioclase feldspar, hornblende and biotite mica.
Granite tiles are popular for use as surfaces that are subject to many and varied impacts, such as kitchen benches and vanities, steps and floors in 'high traffic' areas.
Certain granite tiles have a quite striking appearance and are used for their visual impact, such as on facades.
