When it comes to granites, Colonial White Granite is one of the most exclusive and rare stones. Quarried in Tamil Nadu, Southern India, it is a white-coloured stone with tiny grey and black flecks. The stone received its name from its extensive popularity during the British Empire’s rule in India.
Colonial White has a water absorption rate of 0.15%, which is relatively low, and the hardness is 5.0 as per the Mohs scale. Nevertheless, it is prevalent in the UK and Australia and used in many worktop applications and commercial projects due to its durability and low maintenance.
With a glass-like finish, the surface is exceptionally smooth and is ideal for individuals who want their homes to have a modern, spotless appearance. It is known for its scratch-resistant property, making it the most recommended option for table tops and outdoor uses. In addition, Colonial White Granite is perfect for kitchen countertops, floors, and walls.
Find Out Why Everyone is Raving About This Natural Stone
Colonial White Granite worktops are trendy these days, but how did they become so popular in the first place? The history of this countertop material is quite fascinating.
Colonial White: A Short History
First, it’s essential to know that white granite started being used as a countertop material in the UK in the 18th century. At the time, granite was primarily present in cathedrals and other significant buildings.
Granite did not become widespread as a standard worktop material until the 1880s. However, due to their high cost, granite worktops were initially prevalent in extremely opulent mansions and high-end surroundings.
Even in the 1800s, mining was a risky and challenging procedure, making the material far more expensive to get and extract. As a result, it was still primarily hand-cut.
In the 20th century, quartz emerged as a new and trendy worktop material. Moreover, it was in 1987 when Caesarstone launched its very first quartz worktop collection with designs mimicking the look of marble and predominantly granite.
In the late 1990s, white granite worktops became popular in kitchens again. It is mainly due to new techniques for making them more resistant to stains and cuts, which made them easier to clean and maintain.
However, the biggest reason for its growing popularity was its cost. The new technologies reduce the risk of mining and extracting natural granites such as Colonial White.
