Basins or sinks
Granite sinks come in an assortment including a pedestal sink, angular modern basin, or an under mount sink. With its easy maintenance and resistance to water, granite sinks can make cleaning and maintaining your bathroom a much easier job.
Floor tiles
Ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles, and marble tiles are among the more common elegant forms of tiling found in today’s modern home. However, granite can be used as an elegant floor tile for your home specifically as a garden path, patio flooring, around the pool, or in an outdoor kitchen.
Mosaic flair
