Granite

Granite (lat. "granum" - grain) is a very solid (2,6-2,7 ton/m3) and strong stone (its compression resistance amounts to 90-250 MPa, which is twice higher than marble has). Fine granite with grain size up to 2 mm is the most long-lived, while granite with grains bigger than 10 mm - the least. Granite stone is resistant to chemical pollution and frost, it doesn't lose its characteristics during 300 cycles of freezing and defrosting. Such characteristics of granite allow one to use it in such places, where high endurance of material is needed - as steps and curb-stone, paving stone, stone for facing metro stations, stores. In indoor interiors granite can be used for facing floor, walls and fireplaces, for manufacturing window-sills and table coverings, ladders, columns and balusters. Unlike marble granite doesn't require additional protection against mechanical failures and action of acidiferous liquids. Granite, quarried from the mountains of Italy, the U.S., India, and other countries around the world, is one of the most popular natural stones on the market now. Available in a striking array of colors, granite's durability and longevity make it ideal for kitchen countertops and other heavily used surfaces, including table tops and floors. While synthetic surfaces scratch easily and melt under hot cookware, granite resists heat. Granite is also one of the most bacteria-resistant kitchen surfaces, and it is not affected by citric acid, coffee, tea, alcohol, or wine. It is also nearly impossible to scratch, and with proper cleaning, will not stain under normal use (ask your professional contractor about sealants available to further improve resistance to staining).The best stone for kitchen countertops, floors, and other heavily used surfaces.

A leading consumer magazine recently compared granite with engineered stone, ceramic tile, laminate, butcher block, and other manufactured surfaces. Granite received the highest overall performance rating as a kitchen countertop material.
Granite is well suited for exterior applications such as cladding, paving, and curbing.

Marble

Marble.This name comes from Ancient Greece (translated from Greek "marmaros" means "shining stone"). Marble comes alive in the rays of light penetrating deep into the stone - there appears a light luminescent aureole around the object made of marble. Antique masters already knew that this is the unique material for sculptures. Venus from Milos, Parfenon, the Temple of Zeus Olympic and the columns in the Temple of Artemis in Efes - one of the seven world wonders - are made of marble colored warm white. Michelangelo idolized white marble and called it "the soul of the universe", "the gleam of God's face". But marble is not only white stone. This stone shines and sparkles with pink, yellow, grey, blue, greenish, reddish, brown colors, strikes by its deep black color and by various color combinations. Colored marble usually is rather cloudy (has many so called "stone veins", which are cracks filled with natural admixture. Depending on colors chosen, "stone" interior can be warm or cold, massive or airy, luxury or modest, dark or light.
