Origin and category
Quarry source, pattern, batch availability, format and the commercial category of the specific granite affect material price.
Real granite slabs
A granite catalogue should show specific available slabs rather than repeated generic names. Each entry needs a current photograph, origin, dimensions, thickness, finish, availability and pattern notes. Screen colour remains indicative, so final selection should be made from the stone or an approved physical sample.
Applications and load requirements
Granite is used for countertops, stair components, window sills, floors, cladding and exterior elements, but the decision depends on the specific stone and finish. Exterior use also requires review of the batch, water behaviour, slip resistance, substrate design and the selected surface treatment.
Surface finishes and selection
A polished surface brings out colour and pattern, a honed finish appears quieter, and textured options may be more practical where grip is important. The finish affects perceived colour, cleaning, routine care and the way edges can be processed.
Price, fabrication and installation
The final price combines the selected material and usable yield, layout, thickness, finish, edges, cut-outs, packing, delivery, lifting and installation. Measurements and drawings, pattern direction, visible joints, substrate readiness and on-site scope should be approved before fabrication.
What affects the price
Slab size and usable yield
Component dimensions, pattern direction and approved areas determine consumption, slab count and remaining offcuts.
Thickness and finish
Thickness and a polished, honed or textured treatment affect fabrication stages and the final appearance.
Edges, cut-outs and reinforcement
Profiles, holes, cut-outs, rebates, build-ups and structural reinforcement are calculated from the specification.
Delivery and installation
Component weight and size, route, floor access, lifting, substrate, fixings and joint count are assessed separately.

Questions and answers
Which granite is suitable for a kitchen countertop?
Suitable granite is selected from the actual slab, countertop dimensions, cut-outs, supports and kitchen use profile. Available format, batch consistency, finish and the ability to place components with acceptable joints should all be checked.
What affects the price of granite?
Price depends on origin and material category, slab dimensions and availability, usable yield, thickness, finish, edges, cut-outs, reinforcement, delivery and installation. The finished-product price is calculated after the drawing is prepared.
Which surface finish should be selected?
Polishing increases colour depth, a honed finish reduces gloss, and textured surfaces can improve grip. The choice depends on location, cleaning and safety requirements and the intended visual result.
Is granite suitable for exterior use?
Many granites are used outdoors, but suitability should be confirmed for the specific material, batch, finish and construction. For steps and landings, substrate design, drainage and slip resistance are especially important.
