Granite Tile and Custom Slab Products
We sell custom fabricated granite slab products such as
countertops, vanities, and tabletops. Granite tile is typically
sold in 12 inch size but can be ordered up to 24 x 24 x 3/4 inch
size in tile. All of our granite tile can be precut for an inlay
set and includes a 2.25 x 2.25 inch inlay for each
tile corner.
Granite Tile Installation Notes
Granite tile is typically installed using a layer of "thinset
epoxy" to bond the granite to a wood or concrete backing or
structure. A slip sheet is often used between the primary structure
and the granite tile to allow for torsional relief due to dissimilar
expansion and contraction properties between the stone and the
supporting structure. When installing granite tile for countertops
and similar applications it is recommended that the granite tile be
spaced using a 1/32 or 1/16 inch spacer between each tile and filled
with a matching epoxy grout for maximum stain resistance. Once
installed, granite should be sealed using a suitable "high gloss
penetrant" natural stone sealer to provide protection from stain.
