Polished Granite Countertops for Kitchen/Flooring deliver exceptional performance and timeless elegance for dual application in culinary spaces and interior flooring. This premium natural stone solution combines the functional requirements of kitchen surfaces with the aesthetic and durability needs of flooring, creating cohesive design opportunities throughout homes and commercial spaces. Quarried from select global deposits and processed to achieve a 30-35 gloss level polished finish, these granite surfaces feature exceptional density and low porosity of ≤0.3%. Available in standard slab sizes up to 3000mm x 1600mm with thickness options of 20mm, 30mm, and 40mm, our granite countertops meet rigorous ASTM C615 standards for dimensional stone. With proper care, these surfaces maintain their beauty and functionality for 30+ years, making them a long-term investment in both kitchen performance and interior design value.
Polished granite countertops undergo specialized processing to create a food-safe surface that meets NSF/ANSI 51 standards for food contact materials. The non-porous polished finish resists bacterial growth, with testing showing 99.9% reduction in common foodborne pathogens after standard cleaning. Unlike synthetic materials that may off-gas or leach chemicals, natural granite contains no harmful additives, making it suitable for direct food preparation. The surface's heat resistance up to 280°C (536°F) allows placing hot cookware directly on countertops without damage—a critical safety feature in active kitchens. These food-safe properties make granite equally valuable for kitchen islands where food preparation and casual dining often converge.
Our granite countertops feature enhanced stain resistance achieved through both natural density and optional penetrating sealers. The material resists common kitchen contaminants including wine, coffee, oils, and acidic foods when properly maintained. Testing shows no visible staining after 24-hour exposure to common household substances when sealed correctly. The surface withstands regular cleaning with mild detergents, disinfectants, and even occasional use of stronger cleaners without etching or discoloration. This chemical resistance extends to flooring applications, where granite resists damage from food spills, cleaning agents, and common household chemicals that might damage other flooring materials.
Engineered for both countertop and flooring use, this granite demonstrates exceptional versatility in performance characteristics. It achieves a Mohs hardness rating of 6-7, providing scratch resistance against kitchen utensils and dinnerware while withstanding foot traffic and furniture movement in flooring applications. The material's compressive strength exceeding 200 MPa ensures durability under heavy countertop loads and furniture placement. Its flexural strength of ≥14 MPa prevents cracking from impact or structural movement in both applications. This dual durability eliminates the need for material transitions between kitchen countertops and adjacent flooring, allowing for seamless design continuity throughout culinary spaces.
Our granite selection process ensures consistent color and pattern continuity between countertop and flooring applications, creating harmonious kitchen environments. Each batch undergoes rigorous inspection to ensure uniform color distribution and pattern density, with ±5% color variation between pieces from the same quarry block. This consistency allows designers to extend granite from countertops to backsplashes, island sides, and adjacent flooring without jarring visual discontinuities. The polished finish enhances natural mineral patterns while providing a smooth surface that's easy to clean in both countertop and flooring applications. Available in over 30 color variations from subtle neutrals to dramatic movement patterns, there's a granite option to complement virtually any design aesthetic.
In residential kitchens, polished granite countertops create functional luxury that enhances cooking experiences and social gatherings. Kitchen countertops and islands benefit from the material's heat resistance, stain resistance, and beauty, providing durable work surfaces that become the hub of household activity. Breakfast bars extend countertop material to create casual dining spaces where the same granite provides both food preparation and eating surfaces. Backsplashes utilizing matching or complementary granite create cohesive design statements that tie countertops to cabinetry and flooring. Open-concept kitchens often extend granite flooring from kitchen areas into dining spaces, creating visual continuity in great rooms and entertaining areas.
Commercial kitchens and food service establishments rely on granite's durability and hygiene properties. Restaurant kitchens utilize granite countertops in prep areas where heat resistance and easy cleaning are essential for food safety compliance. Café and bistro serving counters feature polished granite to create attractive presentation surfaces that withstand heavy use. Food demonstration areas in retail settings use granite for both functionality and aesthetic appeal, showcasing products on surfaces that convey quality. Commercial dining spaces often extend granite flooring from dining areas into food service stations, maintaining design consistency while meeting high-traffic performance requirements.
Beyond dedicated kitchens, granite countertops and flooring enhance multi-functional residential spaces. Kitchenettes in home offices and guest suites benefit from compact granite countertops that provide practical surfaces in limited spaces. Wet bars in basements and entertainment areas utilize granite for both countertop and backsplash applications, combining durability with attractive presentation for beverages and snacks. Open-concept living spaces use granite flooring to create transition zones between cooking areas and living spaces, providing a durable, easy-to-clean surface that handles both food traffic and everyday living. Utility rooms and laundry spaces employ granite for both countertop work surfaces and flooring, creating hardworking spaces with unexpected elegance.
Store granite countertop slabs vertically in specialized A-frame racks designed for stone storage, with non-abrasive padding between each slab to prevent surface damage. Maintain a climate-controlled environment with temperature between 18-24°C and relative humidity of 45-55% to prevent natural stone movement. Never store slabs flat without full support, as this can cause warping or cracking under their own weight. For large slabs, use mechanical lifting equipment with proper suction cups rated for ≥500kg capacity to prevent damage during movement. Cover stored slabs with breathable material to protect from dust while allowing air circulation.
Store granite flooring slabs horizontally on level, reinforced surfaces with wooden battens spaced every 600mm to provide uniform support. Place 3mm foam sheets between layers to prevent surface scratching and distribute weight evenly. Limit stack height to 5 layers for 20mm thick slabs and 3 layers for thicker material to prevent crushing. When moving individual flooring pieces, use two people per slab, lifting from below rather than dragging or sliding. For both countertop and flooring applications, sort slabs by color and pattern before installation to ensure consistent appearance across visible surfaces.
Acclimate granite slabs to the installation environment for 72 hours before placement, allowing them to reach room temperature and stabilize moisture content. Inspect all pieces thoroughly for shipping damage, paying special attention to edges and polished surfaces. Clean all slab surfaces with a neutral pH stone cleaner before installation to remove any storage residues that could affect adhesive bonding. For countertops, prepare cutouts for sinks and cooktops with specialized diamond tools to prevent chipping. Always maintain 5-10% extra material beyond calculated requirements to account for cutting waste and potential future repairs, storing extra pieces under the same conditions as the main installation for color consistency.
