Granite Countertops

Granite is a very durable surface, making it ideal for kitchen and bathroom counters. Granite is a scratch resistant material and is one of the hardest stones on the planet. It makes up 60% of the Earth's upper crust!

Granite Durability

Diamonds are used to cut and polish granite along with water to cool the blade. In addition to being hard, granite is also stain-resistant to hot grease and oil when sealed with a silicone-based impregnator.

Buying Wholesale Granite from Importers

Chances are if you let a granite fabricator directly purchase the supplies needed, he's going to overpay and pass the costs down to you. This is because most granite fabricators buy from retail locations and shipping companies that have high overhead. This site is not intended to promote certain companies but it would be more beneficial to you knowing exactly where to go to get prefabricated granite at wholesale prices.

Buying Directly from the Importer

There are two methods you can use to get granite at wholesale prices. The first one is probably not feasible and that is shipping hundreds of units overseas in containers. You can get granite this way at about 60% less than retail but you have to order tens of thousands of dollars in granite.

The second method is a lot more feasible. Buy granite directly from the importer! An importer will have offices located in the United States. This will decrease shipping time to less than a week, increase the level of customer support, and allow you to buy smaller units.

Buying Prefabricated Granite

There's a myth that if you want to buy wholesale granite, you need to buy granite in it's raw state. That is not true. One of the biggest benefits of buying imported granite is that the labor costs associated with prefabrication are extremely cheap. This saving is passed on to the knowledgeable consumer. If the amount of customization work needed for your project is small, consider buying imported prefabricated granite.
