The Great Debate – How does it compare to man-made plastics?
(i.e. Corian, Granite Transformations, Caesar Stone, Silestone and similar) Absolute Stone’s Granite is a 100% natural, breathing material. It will have slight shade/colour variations, some veining (depending on the stone selected) and some composition variations, much like natural timber. These variations contribute to its’ natural beauty. It is generally harder than the resin/plastic based products. These Companies usually advertise their product as having x% of Granite, the inference being that the higher the %, the more hard wearing it will be. Granite will NOT burn. Most resin-based products create highly toxic fumes when burnt. Most house fires start in the kitchen……make your own deductions!
