Granite

Hard, stain-resistant granite slabs for counters, floors and cladding.

Product overview

Granite is an igneous stone — dense, extremely hard and highly resistant to scratching, heat and staining. It is the practical choice wherever a surface takes real abuse: kitchen counters, staircase treads, entrance lobbies and external cladding.

India is one of the world's largest granite producers, so the domestic range in blacks, greys, reds and greens is wide and pricing is competitive at every level.

Typical units: sq ft. Per square foot, varying widely by variety; fabrication and polishing are quoted separately.

Common applications

  • Kitchen counters and vanity tops
  • Staircase treads and risers
  • Entrance lobbies and heavy-traffic flooring
  • External cladding and window sills
  • Landscape and paving elements

Available grades and variants

Standard commercial
Common blacks, greys and speckled varieties at volume pricing.
Premium / exotic
Rare patterns and imported varieties at a significant premium.
Thickness
16–18 mm for cladding and flooring, 20–30 mm for counters.

Buying guide: granite

  • Check for hairline cracks by tapping across the slab and looking at the back face.
  • Confirm the finish — polished, honed, leathered or flamed — matches the use; flamed for outdoor anti-slip.
  • Get the edge profile and cut-out charges quoted upfront for counters; they are a real part of the cost.
  • Measure the slab yourself. Granite is sold per square foot and small discrepancies add up.

Granite FAQs

Is granite good for kitchen counters?

It is the most popular choice in India for good reason — heat resistant, hard to scratch and easy to clean when sealed.

Does granite need sealing?

Less than marble, but a periodic penetrating sealer on lighter granites keeps oil stains from soaking in.
