• Visit one of the Granite Showrooms:
One of the most popular places to look for granite is granite showrooms, where you can see a large variety of granites under one roof. Granite that has captured your attention during your visit may make you think, “Wow, this is exactly what I’m looking for!”.

However, you should visit various granite yards and stores in your city before making a final decision.

• Get Granite Samples:
You should visit marble shops and, if possible, request samples of the materials you are interested in. This allows you to compare it with your current furnishings and coverings, or you can go to a building material store and compare it with the tiles and decorative strips you will use. By comparing them side by side, you can see their harmony and beauty.

• Determine the grade of granite
There are three different levels of granite. The three levels are Level 1 (low-grade granite), Level 2 (mid-grade granite), and Level 3 (+high-grade granite).

A granite slab’s grade can be determined by its colours, veins, pitting, markings, thickness, the amount of soft material it contains, and its origin country.

• Check the quality
When granite begins to fade, it is not a quality product. Ask if you can inspect the granite before purchasing it.

It is possible to test this by applying acetone or lemon drops to the surface or by removing nail paint with remover.

If a residue is observed on the surface, it indicates that the granite has been dyed. However, if it is not, the granite is said to be perfect.

• Choosing Granite Fabricators:
Finding a professional granite fabricator is of utmost importance. The right granite fabricator will provide you with expert advice on how and where to install it.

Refer to a local directory, conduct an online search, or ask friends to recommend granite fabricators in your area.

In order to get the most durable granite countertops for your kitchen, you will need to consult a granite fabricator who can help you with the cutting and fabrication of the granite.
