Kitchen Countertops

The most common use. Granite handles hot pots, oil, spices and daily scrubbing. Dark speckled granites such as Galaxy Black and Tan Brown are favourites for busy kitchens.

Backsplashes

A granite strip or full-height backsplash matching the counter creates a seamless look and protects walls from oil and water.

Bathroom Vanities

Granite vanities resist water, cosmetics and heat from hair tools.

Fireplace Surrounds and Hearths

Granite's heat resistance makes it ideal for hearths and surrounds, especially in Islamabad and northern areas.

Floors

Granite floors are extremely durable and suit entrances, corridors, offices and commercial spaces with heavy foot traffic. Local granites such as Tropical Brown and Impala Black give excellent value for large areas.

Staircases

Granite treads and risers withstand decades of foot traffic. A honed, leathered or flamed finish improves grip.

Car Porches and Driveways

Flamed or leathered granite resists tyre marks, oil and weather.

Patios and Outdoor Areas

Granite handles strong sun, rain and dust, making it ideal for terraces, garden paths and pool surrounds.

Window Sills and Door Frames

Dark granite sills hide dust and rain marks and last for generations.

Granite is the best stone for outdoor cooking areas.

Commercial Uses

Reception desks, shop counters, café bars, office pantries and building lobbies.
