Elevate Your Surfaces with Maruti Mining Limited: Granite, Quartz & Marble Solutions for Kenya
Granite is one of the most sought-after natural stones for dining tables because it effortlessly blends luxury and practicality. Formed deep within the Earth millions of years ago, it is a course-grained crystallized rock primarily made of quartz and feldspar, giving it unmatched hardness and resilience.
Premium stone surfaces shape the look, value, and longevity of any built space. Whether you’re finishing a luxury kitchen, specifying surfaces for a mixed-use development, fitting hospitality suites, or updating a high-traffic commercial lobby, Maruti Mining Limited supplies and fabricates granite, quartz, and marble products engineered for performance in Kenyan conditions. This 1,000‑word guide will help homeowners, contractors, interior designers, architects, and developers understand the strengths of each material, where to use them, and how Maruti Mining supports your project from selection through installation.
About Maruti Mining Limited

If you need consistency across multiple floors or units, Maruti Mining can help you plan yield from slabs, match batches, and coordinate finishing schedules with your contractor.
Understanding Your Stone Options
When selecting a surface material, most specifiers weigh durability, maintenance, design appeal, and cost over life cycle. Here’s how granite, quartz, and marble compare at a high level:
| Property | Granite | Quartz (Engineered) | Marble |
|---|---|---|---|
| Origin | Natural igneous stone | Engineered stone (crushed quartz + resins/pigments) | Natural metamorphic stone |
| Look | Speckled, mineral variation; wide colours | Uniform or patterned; controlled colours | Dramatic veining; classic luxury |
| Durability | Very hard; heat & scratch resistant | Non‑porous; stain & bacteria resistant | Softer; etches with acids; needs care |
| Maintenance | Periodic sealing recommended | Low maintenance; no sealing in most lines | Regular sealing; wipe spills quickly |
| Best Uses | Kitchens, floors, outdoor | Kitchens, baths, worktops | Feature walls, vanities, low‑splash kitchen zones |
Use the table as a starting point—final selection depends on aesthetics, usage load, and budget tier.
Granite Kenya: Natural Strength & Visual Depth
Granite remains a top choice for kitchen countertops, reception desks, stair treads, and high‑traffic floors. Formed under extreme heat and pressure, granite is dense and highly heat‑tolerant. Its natural mineral crystals—quartz, feldspar, mica—create depth and movement that artificial materials struggle to replicate.
- Excellent resistance to scratching under normal use
- Handles hot pots better than many composites (still use trivets for thermal shock control)
- Available in polished, honed, flamed, or leathered finishes
- Works indoors and outdoors (grills, exterior counters, coping, memorials)
For dark kitchens, black and deep charcoal granites create a sleek contemporary look; lighter patterned granites brighten rental units and family homes while hiding crumbs and water spots.
Quartz Countertops Kenya: Engineered Consistency & Low Maintenance
Engineered quartz combines roughly 90%+ ground natural quartz with binding resins and colour pigments to produce dimensionally consistent slabs with controlled patterning. If you want a uniform look across multiple apartments or a light marble‑look surface without the upkeep, quartz is a smart pick.
- Non‑porous: Highly resistant to staining from oils, wine, coffee, cosmetics
- Low maintenance: No routine sealing required in most product lines
- Colour control: Good for multi-unit developments needing matching counters
- Marble‑look options: Veined designs emulate natural stone for luxury aesthetics
Quartz performs especially well in kitchens, bath vanities, medical suites, and food‑service prep zones where hygiene and cleanability matter.
Marble Supploers Kenya: Timeless Luxury & Design Impact
When a project calls for iconic elegance, marble is the designer’s go‑to. With dramatic veining, soft tonal movement, and natural variation from slab to slab, marble creates landmark interiors—hotel lobbies, feature reception walls, high-end bathroom vanities, and statement staircases.
Considerations When Specifying Marble:
- Softer and more porous than granite; seal regularly
- Can etch (dull) when exposed to acids like citrus, vinegar, or harsh cleaners
- Best used where visual impact outweighs heavy wear—or use honed finishes that age gracefully
For residential kitchens that demand the marble look with less worry, consider quartz in a marble pattern for work surfaces and reserve true marble for backsplashes or islands with light prep use.
Where to Use Each Material
Kitchens: Quartz for easy care; granite for heat & durability; select marble for islands or display.
Bathroom Vanities: All three work—quartz for low maintenance in rentals, marble for luxury suites, granite for durability in high‑traffic family baths.
Flooring & Stairs: Granite is the workhorse; marble for statement floors in formal spaces; textured finishes improve slip resistance.
Wall Cladding & Feature Panels: Marble and book‑matched granite create dramatic effects; quartz offers colour uniformity for branded spaces.
Outdoor Use: Granite performs best; confirm UV stability before placing engineered quartz outdoors; select exterior‑rated sealers.
Specifying Stone for Kenyan Projects: What to Ask
When you’re ready to order from Maruti Mining, gather the following project details:
- Application: Countertop, flooring, wall cladding, vanity, exterior feature?
- Dimensions & Thickness: Standard slab thicknesses vs heavy commercial needs.
- Finish: Polished, honed, leathered, flamed, brushed.
- Edge Profile: Eased, bullnose, bevel, mitered waterfall, laminated build‑up.
- Cutouts & Inserts: Sinks, cooktops, mixer taps, electrical/USB ports.
- Sealing & Maintenance Plan: Especially for marble & light‑coloured granites.
- Quantity & Phasing: Single install vs multi‑block development.
Maruti Mining’s team can help value‑engineer layouts to reduce waste and control cost per square metre.
Care & Maintenance Essentials
Daily Cleaning: Mild soap + soft cloth; avoid abrasive powders.
Sealing: Most natural stones benefit from periodic sealing; frequency varies by stone type and usage intensity. Quartz generally does not require sealing (confirm by brand line).
Spill Response: Wipe acidic liquids (juice, vinegar, wine) quickly—especially on marble.
Heat Management: Use trivets or pads under very hot cookware to prevent thermal shock even on granite.
Polish & Refresh: Professional repolishing restores shine on worn or etched surfaces; Maruti Mining can advise service partners.
Sustainability & Long-Term Value
Quality stone surfaces offer decades of service life, reducing replacement cycles and landfill waste. Granite and marble can be refinished; quartz surfaces provide long functional lifespans with minimal chemical maintenance. Durable materials also support property value—buyers recognize premium stone finishes in kitchens, baths, and lobby areas.
