Granite is a natural stone available in various colours and patterns. In the Construction Market, Granite is available in polished form and is used mostly in the verandah and kitchen areas in Kerala Homes. The price normally ranges between Rs.65 and Rs,260 per sqft. Luxurious brands may even cost about Rs.275 to Rs.300 per sqft.
The price of black granite is around Rs.120 to Rs.140 per sqft. Sometimes a layer of chemical polishing is applied to avoid moisture absorption.
Flame finished granite can be used at places where you require a rough finish- like bathroom floors.
Granite is extensively used for charupadi and kitchen slabs these days.
Granite does not lose its color or lusture with time. You should be careful to assess the surface finish of the granite slab at the time of purchase.
Viewing the surface against bright light will reveal surface defects. Disadvantage of granite is that it easily forms surface scratches and the inability to rectify defects by polishing.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteThe Granite installation of looks awesome in kitchens mostly.
While going for home renovation, some very simple steps a homeowner can take to protect themselves and to avoid unneeded frustration;
1. Make sure your construction contractor is licensed, has workers compensation insurance, general liability, and in some cases, if the project is very large as in a home addition, carry a bond.
2. Make sure your contractor uses a legitimate contract to outline every home improvement task to be performed.
3. The financial stability of your contractor is super important. If your contractor needs 50% of the payment upfront so he can order materials, it's seriously time to find another residential construction contractor.
4. References, References, References!! Call them all, and make sure your residential construction contractor has a good reputation.
It's your responsibility to protect yourself. Log on to LCP for contractor marketing ideas!
