Granite is a common type of felsic intrusive igneous rock that is granular and phaneritic in texture. Granites can be predominantly white, pink, or gray in color, depending on their mineralogy. The word “granite” comes from the Latin granum, a grain, in reference to the coarse-grained structure of such a holocrystalline rock. Strictly speaking, granite is an igneous rock with between 20% and 60% quartz by volume, and at least 35% of the total feldspar consisting of alkali feldspar, although commonly the term “granite” is used to refer to a wider range of coarse-grained igneous rocks containing quartz and feldspar.

Granites are hard and tough with good compressive strength and low permeability .These properties have made granite a widespread construction stone across generations. Granite is a rock, quarried as a “dimension stone” (a natural rock material that has been cut into blocks or rough slabs of specific length, width, and thickness). Granite is hard enough to resist abrasions, strong enough to bear significant weight, inert enough to resist weathering, and accepts a brilliant polish. These characteristics make it a very desirable and useful dimension stone.
Granite is an excellent flooring material when compared with other flooring options. Some of the key features include
- Extremely Durable with Long lasting aesthetic value
- Multiple styling patterns & Options
- Hypoallergenic qualities due to Dust, Stain, Moisture & Water resistance
- Value for Money
Granites are ranked mostly on relative rarity of the stone and its colour, patterns or grains. The Indian granite market mostly classifies granite stone in three grades, according to its quality: Premium or First grade, Standard or Second grade, and Commercial or Third grade.
A Premium grade granite slab is perfectly cut, and has uniform thickness and very little filler. Standard grade stones have a bit more filler or some minor variations. Commercial granite slabs can be defective in cut, or non-uniform in its quality, or with an atypical pattern, or with high levels of filler or some other fault.
