Why See a Slab in Person Before You Choose

Looking at a small, 4-inch sample doesn’t show the true dimension, veining, or pattern of a granite slab. Seeing the full slab in person lets you appreciate how it will display on a 9-foot kitchen island or dual-sink bathroom vanity.

Natural granite varies from slab to slab, so you should have the first-hand experience of seeing it in person before you commit. At Granite Kitchen & Bath, you’ll choose the exact slab that your countertops are produced from, not just a sample piece.

Granite Colors and Samples

While your final decision should be made after seeing our granite selection in person, it can be helpful to narrow down your preferences. Explore our samples in different color families, ranging from neutral whites and creams to bold greens and blues, so you can focus your search. Exact availability will vary, but you can get a look at some of our favorite granite samples and colors below.

Quartz Colors and Samples

Unlike granite, quartz is engineered from crushed natural quartz and other stone materials bonded together with resin and pigments. This creates more consistent patterns from slab to slab and offers a greater variety of patterns and color choices. We stock Cambria Quartz, which is a premium, American-made brand known for deep and intricate designs that can work across a wide range of kitchen and bath styles.

Granite or Quartz — How Tucson Homeowners Choose

Both granite and quartz are durable, beautiful countertop surfaces that are durable, long-lasting surfaces that hold up to daily use in a kitchen or bath. However, each has unique benefits to consider. Granite is a natural stone that has a wide range of variations from slab to slab, while quartz is engineered to have a more consistent appearance. Additionally, granite requires resealing and is more prone to staining. Granite is considered more heat-resistant, but quartz tends to be lower maintenance and more durable overall, which is ideal for busy households.

In terms of cost, quartz is usually slightly more expensive than granite, but the price ranges for both materials have significant overlap.

Edges, Finishes, and Thicknesses

Along with choosing your preferred quartz or granite sample, you need to consider the thickness, finish, and edge profile of your countertops. Usually, granite countertops are available in 2cm and 3cm thicknesses, with the thicker variety being preferred for kitchen applications where the countertops are under more daily stress. Common edge profiles include beveled edges, ogee edges, full- and half-bullnose edges, and eased edges. These range from clean, flat faces to decorative rounded and s-shaped curves or sharp angular slopes to fit a wide range of design preferences. Finally, you’ll choose from a polished or honed finish. Polished is the most common, as it is glossy, reflective, and more stain resistant. Honed granite has a matte finish that hides scratches and fingerprints well but is more porous and requires more frequent resealing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I see granite slabs before installation?

Yes. In fact, we recommend that you do! You can visit the Granite Kitchen & Bath showroom Monday through Friday to view granite slabs and choose the exact one that will be used to fabricate your countertops.

How do I choose the right granite color for my kitchen?

To choose the right granite color for your kitchen, consider the color of your cabinets, walls, backsplash, and flooring so that you can complement these features. If you want a bold look, you might select a more colorful granite variety like Juparana Bordeaux or Verde Ubatuba. Alternatively, neutral granite shades like White Springs or Summer Beach can fit seamlessly into a wide range of kitchen and bathroom design aesthetics.

What edge styles and finishes are available for granite and quartz countertops?

Granite and quartz countertops may have sleek, flat or beveled edges or rounded, curved edges. Ogee edges are more traditional and elaborate, featuring an S-shaped curve, while an eased edge has a clean, flat surface that looks more modern and simple. Rounded edges are also popular, as these are softer to the touch and safer for households with kids.

What's the difference between granite and quartz countertops?

Granite countertops are natural stone countertops cut from real slabs of stone, while quartz countertops are engineered with crushed quartz mixed with resin. Both offer the distinctive beauty of natural stone, but they have unique benefits to consider.

How do I choose between polished and honed granite finishes?

To choose between a polished or honed granite finish, consider the look you want as well as your commitment to ongoing care and maintenance for your granite countertops. A polished finish is shiny and durable, making the countertops more resistant to stains. A honed finish is a matte or satin finish that can mask fingerprints and scratches, but it requires much more frequent resealing to maintain, and it has a more porous finish, making stains more of a risk.
