How to set the price of stone?

LivingRoc only will use all natural pure stone in our product line.
Granite Quarry

The kind of material:

The strength varies from one material to another. Some harsh black granites are difficult to extract or cut and require appropriate equipment and a suitable service (worn saw blades ). This will help decide the cost of the product.

The volume of extraction.

Some varieties of stones are scarce because of the quality or operation of the deposit options, impacting the quarrying costs and therefore the selling price of the blocks directly. 


In some cases you will have to sacrifice a part of a block or a slice to use only marketable portions. "Waste" generated at a cost that must be factored into the purchase price of the material.

The cost of labor.

Natural stone in its transformation involves intensive labor. It must be extracted, then worked with infinite precision. Extraction in shaping the cost of labor is an important factor which depends on the origin of the stone and the country in which it is worked.

Rocks are unique, like a diamond. A diamond starts out as a shiny rock that has to be cut and shaped. So too does your granite.


You can view our line of natural stone suited to embrace your bathroom, kitchen, garden patiodining, and living room  here!

Natural stone: comparing materials!

Here at LivingRoc we strive to provide you with information in helping to choose the rite stone for your home, so that you experience the beauty of our natural trendy stones.

If the stone is universally considered one of the strongest and most durable materials by excellence ratings, we must provide some clarification with this statement. 

The kingdom of stones, not all indeed play in the same division.

Natural stone derives its prestige and strength of the rock from which it originates and gives it strength, authenticity and charm, the fact remains that each stone (as each organization) has its own characteristics, strengths but also has some weaknesses.

Not to mention all stones are not created equal, we note some distinct characteristics that are spoken of granite, marble or other basalts.

Compare and have the clarity to choose the material that suits your decor project, check out our summary table of the natural stone quality levels.

FOCUS: maintenance of granite

Granite in rock form
 Granite is a very hard rock. Once worked and formatted into a basin, sink, fountain, paving or whatever the artist creates, it requires minimal maintenance.

Indeed, unlike marble or limestone, more porous materials more easily absorbs stains, granite requires very little maintenance. It is usually the most expensive stone that is obtained in generally difficult mining conditions.

Granite that we use in connection with the manufacture of bowls, shower bases and sinks on our site ( Alpha , Dune, Torrence etc. ..) , is a very low porosity and requires no specific maintenance. We improve further its impermeability by applying successively at our workshop two waterproof layers.




Use only neutral detergents (which contain no acidity) and in no case undiluted detergent that can attack the stone.

Clean with soapy water (dishwashing liquid 'neutral', for example) or hot water with a drop of vinegar.

Use stone care products that will help ease your care in maintaining your stone to keep its natural beauty.

We are at your disposal for further information about our natural stone products. We also would like to invite you to discover the beauty granite has become at LivingRoc.net.

Granite is a natural material commonly used for kitchen worktops.
