Granite Slabs

Granite slabs for granite countertops are imported from Italy and South America. Granite is cut at the quarry into slabs that are about ten feet long, six feet wide and two inches thick. They are then imported by granite wholesalers and sold to granite countertop fabricators and installers. Thousands of slabs in hundreds of colors are imported weekly so if you know where to look, you can get superb granite slabs for a competitive price. Hundreds of colors and styles of granite slabs are available for you to select from so you can get the exact color granite countertop you want for your home.

You will not see these slabs or even pictures of them at Lowes or Home Depot, but you can see them on the internet, and if you are close to a wholesaler, you can go with your installer to select the slab you want. If you are too far away, the internet is the next best way to select granite.
