Granite Slabs
 Granite slabs for granite countertops are imported from Italy and South America. The slabs are cut at the quarry into pieces 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 live close to a wholesaler, you can usually accompany your installer to select the slabs you want. If you are too far away, the internet is the next best thing.
When I installed new granite countertops in my kitchen, I was able to visit SLABCO International Marble and Granite located in Elberton, Georgia and select the very granite slabs that were used in my kitchen. I wanted something out of the ordinary and was able to find a very unusual piece of Golden Beach granite that was cut and installed to accent the bar area of my countertops. You can find links to SLABCO and other Georgia Granite Association Members on our links page.
