What is a commercial grade granite?
The lowest grade of granite is Level 1, sometimes known as "entry-level" granite. Additionally, we may refer to it as "commercial-grade" or "builder-grade". Pre-fabrication refers to the manufacture of this bottom stratum of granite, which occurs before a recognized use.
How are granite countertops made?
Large pieces of stone are the first step in the fabrication of a granite countertop. These substantial pieces are mined and then chopped into blocks. Then, using specialised saws, the blocks are cut into slabs. To guarantee that their natural order can be preserved, each slab is given a number. Diamonds are used to polish the slab's one side, revealing a distinctive and eye-catching surface. Granite slabs are cut to specific sizes using big saws with diamond-coated blades. Granite that has been cut has unpolished, but smooth, edges. Small hand-held stone routers or enormous computerised stone routers known as CNC machines are used to smooth these edges. Additionally, the granite is cut into edge designs like waterfall, ogee, bullnose, and others using these routers.
Does Regatta have granite manufacturing capabilities?
Yes, we have two in-house granite manufacturing facilities – one in Bundi, Rajasthan (North India) and another one in Prakasam, Andhra Pradesh (South India). Being one of the top granite manufacturers in India, we have some of the most advanced natural stone processing machines including jump granite gansaws, automatic slab polishers, epoxy and flaming machines, calibration machine, edge cutting machine, block cutters, CNC machine, and others.
Can you put North Indian and South Indian granites in one container?
Practically, it is much difficult to do so. This is because of the large distance between North Indian and South Indian granite quarries. We would recommend to put both types of granite in separate containers.
Are the colors on the website a true representation of the actual material?
Photographical representations of the product may vary due to light source, monitor settings and also, because of the fact that only a small part of the sample slab is visible on the website. However, customers can ask for the photographs of the original slab from our sales team.
What finishes are available on granites apart from the polished finish?
Granite products are available in a number of finishes that include honed, flamed, flamed + brushed, leather finish, lapatora and sandblasted.
