Aadhunik Grey Granite, Selection Granite & Marble, Palanpur

Best used for

Aadhunik Grey is an even, fine-grained grey. It is the kind of stone you choose when the floor should not be the thing people look at: it takes a polish well, shows very little variation from slab to slab, and sits quietly under furniture, timber and painted walls. Builders use it for whole-house flooring, staircases and large commercial floors where a hundred slabs have to look like one piece. It also makes a sensible kitchen counter where a dark stone would feel heavy.

Things to know

Light greys show less dust than black granite but will show a dropped turmeric spoon if it is left overnight; wipe and it is gone. Because the grain is fine and regular, cut edges and corner joints disappear almost completely, which is why it works so well on long runs of flooring. Ask for slabs from one lot when you are doing a continuous floor. Our photographs were taken under an open shed and may look slightly cool; ask on WhatsApp for a daylight photo of the slab.
