Granite

Granite’s combination of luster and extreme durability has long made it a popular material to use in homes for flooring, kitchen counters, tabletops, mantles, bathroom surfaces, roofing, and cladding. These qualities come at a premium however; Granite’s very durable nature makes it time consuming to cut and polish. Thus, granite is one of the most expensive surfacing materials that can be used in the home.

Currently one of the most popular varieties is tan brown granite. Quarried in India, this stone typically has deep brown and tan shades with reddish brown crystal inclusions. These colors are very rich and appealing to modern style, yet also go easily with a wide variety of decors. The stone also sees great use in large-scale construction and funerary monuments. Like all granite, tan brown is first cut into chunks that can be practically hauled from the quarry site to a production plant where it is cut to the desired length, width, and thickness, and polished.

After it is a polished, a sealant is applied to the stone to prevent staining from liquid seepage. Tan brown granite is also amenable to relatively thin cuts and large sized cuts. The stone is available in both slab and tile form. Tan brown granites are most aesthetically pleasing when honed to a glossy finish; however, other finishes are available upon customer request. The customer should usually look to buy tan brown granite from a wholesale online distributor rather than from a typical home improvement department store.

This will usually save on price, but more importantly, it is more likely that a wholesaler will have lots large enough to do all the decor desired in a house. Since brown granite is a natural material and every lot is unique, it can be nigh impossible to find patterns that match if you have to use stone from more than one lot. Also, going online will expose one to more variety than one would find running down the local vendors and thus more probability of finding the pattern that exactly fits one’s decor needs.

Granite is available in both modular cuts, finished pieces, and in slab lots. The cost will be variable depending upon distributor, thickness, and complexity of cut that has gone into a piece or lot of pieces. However, generally speaking, one can expect to pay between $160 to $250 dollars per square foot for quality tan brown granite.
