Strength

 

While natural granite is one of the strongest materials available, most residential and even commercial uses do not require this strength. Granite tiles are made using vitrified material and have strength and durability that can withstand both residential and commercial use. Granite tiles will be as long lasting as granite or even more.

 

Price

 

Since granite is a naturally occurring stone that requires to be mined and processed the cost is on the higher side. The cost of granite tiles is comparatively lower than natural granite, with the price of granite tiles starting at Rs. 64 per sq. feet.

 

Installation

It is also easier to cut tiles to fit into tight corners or around pillars and they can also be drilled easily. Granite tiles can also be used as countertops in any shape required. 

 

Porosity

 

Natural granite is porous and therefore is bound to be damaged by wear and tear, water exposure. Granite tiles however have low porosity and last longer even if exposed to water. Granite tiles don’t also require frequent polishing like granite does. 

 

Colours & Designs

Maintenance

 

Granite tiles have a big advantage over granite in the maintenance aspect. Granite requires regular polishing and other procedures because of its high porosity. Whereas granite tiles do not need to be polished and retain their colour and shine.

Consistency

 

Naturally occurring stones such as granite do not offer consistency of design and colour. Granite tiles, however, have a consistent design and colour across all pieces thereby ensuring your floors and walls have a uniform look and feel.
