They used to sell granite tiles, now they only sell granite counters when you do a kitchen with them.

Responding to the Chinese granite thread. Chinese granite is cheap granite.

I asked DH about pricing. He said you don't know what you get when you buy Chinese granite. The quality is inconsistent. I remember the guy at the quarry telling me when I was looking away slabs not to buy Chinese granite.

This is funny.

I heard from someone who works at one of the biggest marble and granite businesses in NYC, and someone else in the business, that its not granite from China that Chinese merchants sell, its the same granite everyone else sells, at better prices. Only the dealers are Chinese. Like buying fruits and veg in a Chinese owned store. Same fruits and veg.

All stores can have different qualities of finish on the granite, like diamonds that are VS-1, the guy explained to me, with more and less imperfections. Every lot is different, but you see that on the tiles.

I was told not to buy Chinese granite (in any store) because the quality is very low, as there is a lot of iron in it, so that you can see rust after a while! It was about tiles that you use outdoor though

Lazer Tiles and Sentile BOTH said all granite is identical. Some maybe are prettier than others, but quality is identical. But neither sell granite tiles (when I was there last, Lazer used to and doesnt now, and Sentil never did).
