A first-rate granite fabricator will use digital templating technology to guarantee that your chosen granite slabs are cut correctly and the designs of the slabs chosen match flawlessly.

The best thickness for counter tops is 3cm (1 inches). There are abundant edging designs available including more traditional options such as bullnose, pencil, half bullnose, or small bevel. More cutting edge edging selections include broken edge, ogee, and triple waterfall. With regard to the sink mount, you need to decide if you want your sink to be mounted on or underneath the granite countertop. Finally, you need to pick the suitable finish for your countertop: polished, satin, or a customized finish such as ‘antiqued’ or ‘leather’.
