Granite Tile & Trim

Granite Tile, Mosaics and Trim

Granite is one of the hardest and most scratch-resistant natural stones. It is far less prone to etching than marble or travertine, which makes it a practical choice for heavy-use floors and kitchens. Our collection centers on Absolute Black, a deep, uniform black granite with very little movement, which suits modern, classic and high-contrast designs.

Where it works

Kitchen and entry floors, bathroom floors and walls, backsplashes, fireplace surrounds and borders. Flamed granite has a textured surface that suits outdoor steps and patios.

Finishes and sizes

Most pieces are polished for a deep mirror shine. There are also honed and flamed options. Field tile comes in 12x12, 18x18, 12x24, 24x24, 6x24, 6x18 and 9x18, alongside 1x1 and 4x4 mosaics. Trims include pencil liners, bullnose, OG-1 chair rail, F-5 crown molding and 4 and 4 3/4-inch baseboards, plus a shower corner shelf.

Price range

Most granite field tile runs about $12 to $22 per sq ft. Mosaics and trims are priced per sheet or piece.

Care

Granite is dense, but sealing grout and stone after installation is still recommended. Clean with a pH-neutral stone cleaner. Polished black granite shows water spots, so dry it after mopping for the best shine.

Pair black granite with white marble for a classic contrast. See Thassos White, or browse stone baseboards and moldings.
