Are you an (interior) architect looking for a countertop material that ticks all the boxes on your checklist? And is granite at the top of your list? For those who love the robust look of granite but want more control over price, finish, and maintenance, Diresco composite offers an interesting alternative. We present three refined composite designs that come remarkably close to the look and feel of granite.

1. Divinity Black: deep black finesse

A powerful classic. Divinity Black exudes the same stately elegance as a granite Nero Assoluto or Zimbabwe Black. The light grain structure subtly yet confidently appears on the surface of the countertop. Ideal for kitchens where luxury and simplicity meet. Be sure to also check out the lighter variants within this collection.

2. Cava Mocca: distinctly sparkling

Compared to the Divinity line, our Cava-collection has a slightly more pronounced finish, with coarser patterns typical of many granite countertops.

The light champagne color of the Cava-Mocca design, for example, closely resembles the off-white of Blanco Paloma granite. A slightly warmer design that fits beautifully in a wide range of interiors.

3. Beach Iceberg: excellence in white

Diresco’s Beach Iceberg combines the refined grain structure of the Divinity range with a fresh white hue. A nod to the softer granite patterns in popular white and light gray tones. Especially in contemporary and modern interiors, it’s a highly appreciated eye-catcher.

A unique combination of benefits for your clients

In addition to the aesthetic similarities with various types of granite, composite offers even more advantages:

• Competitive pricing: Composite generally costs slightly less than granite—without compromising on quality or appearance;

• A dream for architects and interior designers : Composite combines a very hard and strong core with exceptional workability. This allows for the most creative and refined designs and finishes, such as ultra-thin edges or flowing curved lines;
  
• Low maintenance: Composite is non-porous and highly stain-resistant. Unlike granite, it never needs resealing to stay in good condition. Regular cleaning is enough;
  
• No surprises in finish: While granite colors and patterns vary per block, composite offers welcome predictability. What you choose and order looks exactly the same upon installation—especially important in residential projects where consistency is key;
  
• Long-term reliability: The intrinsic hardness and stain- and impact-resistance of composite ensure a long lifespan for your clients’ countertops.

Composite or granite: what’s the final verdict?

Choosing Diresco composite to bring your client’s design to life means choosing more design freedom, more durability, and more reliability—even when compared to popular granite.
