Our Granites

Granite is an igneous rock formed by the slow cooling of magma beneath the Earth’s surface. It is mainly composed of quartz, feldspar and mica, which gives it a grainy texture and great hardness. Its colour palette varies from grey and white to pink, red and black, depending on the minerals present. This rock is particularly resistant to weathering, wear and scratches, making it a durable and sought-after material.

Granite is widely used in the fields of construction, decoration and urban planning. In construction, it is used for foundations, paving stones and borders thanks to its robustness. In interiors, it is often used for kitchen worktops, wall coverings or floors, adding a touch of sophistication and solidity. It is also found in funerary art for monuments and tombstones, as it resists the passage of time. In urban design, it is chosen for sidewalks, statues, and facades because of its combination of strength and aesthetics.

There are many types of granite, differentiated by their color, texture, and origin. Black granite from India, with a dark and elegant color, is prized for countertops and monuments. Pink granite from Brittany, with its soft shades, is used for specific architectural projects. Grey granite from Tarn, known for its durability, is frequently used for paving stones and exterior cladding. These variations allow granite to adapt to a multitude of styles and applications, combining natural beauty and functionality.
