If you enjoy the luxury of granite in your kitchen, you’ll love it for the surfaces around your BBQ. Its durability means it will withstand hot tongs, flames and freshly grilled food.

Plus, granite comes into its own outside. Having formed in the mountains over thousands of years, even the British weather won’t wear it down, no matter how stormy or wet it gets.

On the days when the sun is shining, a sleek slab of natural stone will add atmosphere to your garden as you enjoy life alfresco.
