Questions about south indian granite
Which South Indian granite suits a kitchen?
Dense, darker granites such as Absolute Black and Black Galaxy hide stains and need little care. Light granites suit a kitchen too, sealed and wiped promptly.
Why does the catalogue list a stone as South Indian when I have heard it is from elsewhere?
Some trade names are used for stone from several places. Where a stone's state of origin is not confirmed, its page says 'Origin: confirmed on enquiry'.
