I can't help you find what you are looking for but I have a piece of advice to offer. I had black granite counters in the bathroom of my previous residence. They were a nightmare. Every small drop of water that got on them left a spot. The counters constantly looked "dirty" from the water spots that would end up on them from doing something simple such as washing your hands. I would never go with black granite again for this reason.

i bought a pre-finished black granite countertop from home depot for a bathroom remodel - they had a few shelves in the store of different sizes, colors and finishes. you may want to check with them.

vanities tend to be in standard sizes, though - i'm guessing kitchens involve more variables (cabinet/island length, holes for sinks, faucets), so i'm not sure how you'd go about finding one that would necessarily fit what you're doing.

and i agree with cari about the black - lots of maintenance to keep it looking nice.

ajp, can you tell us what type of maintenance is needed for black granite as a countertop surface, i.e., a product? I am moving into a condo this summer that has black granite in the kitchen and I'd like to be prepared. Many thanks!

I sell prefabricated granite countertops. 8'x25"x1". they come prefinished with a bullnosed edge. It would be perfect for what you are looking for. unfortunately I do no have black, I have uba tuba and three other colors. I can explain how to install it yourself. I sell the backsplash as well. I am very confident that I am an incredible bargain. info@eastcoastgranite.com

I have been looking at prefab granite countertops for my kitchen. However, the only ones I have found in our area are only 2 cm thick. I am concerned about durability,strength, installation problems, etc.
Does anyone have any experience with the thinner
prefab countertops? How do they hold up?
Although they are cheaper, I don't want to end up having problems in the long run...thanks

Chava, Becuase the prefab granite is thinner the installer should put plywood on top of the cabinets to suppport the weight and prevent any problems. Would you mind sharing the names of any suppliers you have found in the New York City area?

Thanks!

I work in a custom fabrication shop and have some advice for you. Do your homework! Our shop frequently has requests to fix prefab counters that came in with problems or were broken during an ameture installation. You can save money with prefabs but it will probably cost you more if you have to call in your local fab shop to finish or fix the job. Make sure that your under mount sink will be polished and have foucet holes cut for you. MAKE SURE THAT YOUR SINK WILL FIT IN YOUR CABENET!! Don't try to do any kind of sink or any thing else that requires a length of granite that is less than 2" wide as it will break. Any narrow spots around sinks will require rodding if it is 2cm material. And finally if you have a lot of seams don't plan on an easy insallation.

Hope this helps,
Mike

I have been installing granite for 22 years and there is no problem with 2 cm material as long as you do not exceed 14 to 16 in. overhangs.

We are planning a bathroom remodel and are getting bids from 2 contractors (both have excellent reputations). We will have custom made vanities with granite countertops. One contractor is proposing prefab granite (which we know will save $)and the other contractor said he won't work with prefab, as there are too many problems with prefab down the road. I'm looking for advice!
Thanks

Hi, Everybody!
Many people often asked what color are applied for kitchen granite countertop and bathroom vanity top. I would like to say you can choose you like. AL Granite has more than one hundred color for kitchen and bathroom decoration.
But I would like to say different countries and different people like different color.
Today, We talk about American people like natural crazy beautiful color. for example, they like gallio cecilia, butterfly green,emerald green,gaillo forito,river yellow,crystal yellow,golden peach, almond mauve,china green for thier countertop and vanity top.
I found these are color are really beautiful, I like it.

Hello. My name is Christopher Purnell, and I am the President of EZ Furniture Assembly & Interior Innovations, LLC. We were voted #1 in New York City's choice in professionally assembly, renovation, & kitchen installation services. I spend a vast majority of my time securing contracting, overseeing major projects, and finding the best possible products for our customers. I love Granite countertops and are a great addition to a high end kitchen. You don't want granite counters in a $5000.00 kitchen. We sub our granite work out to a very professional company who comes in after we install the base cabinets and they use a computer system where they trace the back of the countertop running along the wall and the computer transfers that information inti any changes in wall structure or height to ensure that the customer will receive an exact fit. However, we have found that the majority of the kitchens we install are very limited in space and require us to give great thought in the planning to utilize every inch for storage while making it functional. The benefit of a smaller kitchen is the ability to get granite counters at very, very low prices because in most cases we are able to purchase left overs from previous projects from dealers in which the customer gets what they want for sometimes an 1/8 of what they could have paid. I work hand in hand with an interior designer where we both exchange ideas and most importantly the purpose of this kitchen, by that I mean is it only for aesthetics or will it be used on a daily basis, and secondly the customer's budget so we know what we have to work with and can improvise when needed. All in all kitchens are by far one of the most important investments one can make in their home so I strongly suggest that you waiy until you have saved or acquired enough equity to where you can get a top rate kitchen and not cut corners because this will not only result in a poor kitchen but lower your resale value. If you have any questions you can email us or visit us at www.ezfurnitureassembly.com.

All,
We fabricate and install kitchens & bathrooms from pre-fabricated granite blanks, 2 cm thick. We have had no issues with using the 2 cm thick countertops. Maybe the contractor who said there were too many problems down the road should extrapolate on specific problems he knows about. I have not heard of any issues down the road, unless the granite is installed incorrectly. Maybe he has experienced installations where the granite is not level on the sub-surface, making it sag and over time crack.

At http://www.GuruGranite.com we have experience working with 2 cm pre-fabricated "blanks", and do not make those types of mistakes.

See what types of granites we offer. We have specials that are 15% off, perfect for the do-it-yourselfer, or for those on a tight budget:

Dont always count out domestic suppliers. Watermark Design in Tampa uses a waterjet cutter to make prefab granite countertops. I used Watermark Design for both waterjet cutting of granite and waterjet cutting of floor medallions. When I was there they were waterjet cutiing aircraft parts out of aluminum so I know their work is very precise. The granite I buy from them is first class and priced along side the Chinese granite. I recommend Watermark Design in Tampa for granite, especially waterjet cut granite.

Please delete & block the sales posts. They aren't even veiled as consumers recommending something.

There are a lot of granite countertop fabricators that do have access to "Prefab" granite pieces (prefabricated granite slabs). The prefab granite pieces are specific sizes so the fabricator can cut them easily to fit a kitchen -- but prefabricated granite does have its limits. It may seem like a cheaper option, but slicing and dicing pieces to fit your countertop has the potential to cost you more and will not look as nice as custom cut countertops.

We do have access to prefab granite pieces, which do work well for small projects, but prefab does not live up to our standards on an installation. (Having a prefab kitchen can also mean more seams, which depending on who cuts the granite, the seams will be very noticable)

We custom cut and installed 3CM Granite Countertops for over 700 homeowners a year. Sometimes a prefab piece may be good to cut down and reuse for a small project, but it has actually been more cost effective to have the countertop custom cut and installed -- not to mention you have more choices in the matter.

Why settle for one granite edge? With custom cut tops, you can choose from many different edge treatments and you also will have the option to less seams. I know prices vary per state, but here in Charlotte NC, we custom cut and install 50 Sq Ft kitchens (everything included) for just around $2099--that even includes taxes, new stainless steel undermount sink, installation, faucet hole cuts and more. http://www.fireplacecarolina.com/granite-sale/

If you are concerned about granite spots from water damage -- you will find that there are easy granite sealer options available. You can seal the granite yourself every 4 - 6 months using a granite cleaner and sealer from Lowes or Home Depot -- or you can have a lifetime or 15 year sealant applied to the countertop. Many of our customers choose the option for $5/ sq ft to have their granite sealed with a 15 year granite sealer. This granite sealer keeps the granite sealed for up to 15 years and does come with a warranty through the manufacturer.

I hope all this information helps you make your choice -- prefabricated granite countertops are an option, but you will get what you pay for. Sometimes the difference in price isn't that much and later on, you may wish you paid the little bit more. :)
