What is Granite Graded

Unlike other industries granite does not have a standard for the quality grading system. Granite is given its “grade” based on the retailer's standards. There are generally three levels of granite which include commercial/ builder-grade granite, Mid-grade granite, and high-quality granite.

Commercial grade granite tends to be softer in minerals and has less variety of colors than mid-grade or high-quality granite. Commercial grade granite consists of the most common and accessible granite such as Santa Cecilia, New Caledonia, Venetian Gold, and Black Pearl.

The distinctions between the different grades of granite are all pretty similar in physical quality. High-quality granite is marked as such due to its rarity. High-quality granite usually has rare patterns and most vibrant colors. Since granite is a natural stone every piece is unique. In some cases, high-end granite is the only of its kind. The most unique granites are Blue Pearl GT, Lava Jewel, Blue Bahia, and Van Gogh granite.
