Going Granite is highly recommended in homes and areas that are made for lots of hear and wearing traffic. In other words in areas kids frequent, places that double  up  us a playground cum lining room or in the lobby of your home. 

For the very structure of granite is hardly and can withstand some wear and tear, although not the gouging out of the stone in your budding sculptor! 

The colour available in this relatively modern stone are plenty and the finish can remain smooth for long periods of time provided they are given a little care, like regular sweeping and mopping.
