What is
Granite, Marble & Composite
The Granite we use today began life approximately 200 million years ago from molten rock and is
made up from quartz, feldspar and various Mafic or igneous minerals.
You probably think that we would say this but we really
believe there is something wonderful about the natural
beauty of natural stone. It is the quantities, distribution and
chemistry of the minerals within the stone which gives stone
its colour.
“Our stone is imported from all over the world:
Africa, Italy, Spain, Brazil, India, the USA,
and Scandinavia to name but a few.”
The shine on your stone work tops is brought about by hours
spent polishing the surface with varying grades of abrasive,
leaving it easy to clean and maintain. It remains cool to the
touch and warm to the eye.
Whether it is used in kitchens, bathrooms or commercially,
granite is without doubt a most versatile natural material and

Semi Precious Collection
Simply ... the quintessential expression of style and luxury
The semi precious materials we use are
usually sourced by hand at the country of
origin. Sometimes taking four months to
arrive in this country. This time must be
allowed for in the project planning.
These hand picked materials cost upwards
of 15 times the price of a typical granite.
GON are one of only a few companies in the
world skilled enough to fabricate from these
materials. We can fabricate into kitchen
tops, bathroom vanity tops, bath surrounds,
wall cladding table tops, bar tops etc.
There are those who believe these materials
may help with stress, wealth, health,
fertility, intelligence, healing and general
well being issues.

granite. He was prepared to do mock
template to give us an idea of where the
granite features could be used for maximum
effect. Designed template as he would in his
