Black Granite Countertops

Deep, polished black with fine silver or gold flecks: a bold, classic look that pairs with white cabinets, wood and brass.

Black granite is the dramatic classic. A polished black counter reflects light, hides everyday crumbs and makes white or wood cabinets look crisp. Some blacks are nearly solid, while others carry fine silver, gold or blue flecks that sparkle in the light. In Nashville kitchens, black granite shows up in modern, transitional and traditional homes alike, and it is especially popular on islands and bars.

Black stone has its own personality. A glossy black top shows water spots, fingerprints and dust more than a mottled stone does, so a honed or leathered finish is a favorite for busy households. Black granite also tends to be dense and very hard, which makes it a strong performer. We help you compare slabs at local stone yards, plan the layout and install the finished tops with tight seams and clean cutouts.
