Contributing Member fredk Posted December 6, 2020 Contributing Member Report Posted December 6, 2020 Round my way kitchen fitters do not use real granite or marble. Grave stone makers use concrete internals faced with a thin veneer of granite or marble. So getting a new reasonable sized piece of real granite is not easy. All of which is odd as one of N.I.'s main exports is granite! But: I dropped into a local B&Q on Friday to see what they had in 'paving'. They have pavers of granite, about 30cm /1ft square. about 25mm /1 inch thick. Polished on one side, rough on the other. £4.64 each. However, when I checked with a B&Q chap they are to 'order' only. The order being 80 pavers! The chap, ever helpful, used his phone and checked and found another branch not too far away (8 miles) had 56 for sale individually, so I headed there and got one. The rough side doesn't bother me, I'll give it a base of scrap leather glued on. https://www.diy.com/departments/silver-grey-paving-slab-l-295mm-w-295mm/5015111965204_BQ.prd If you search B&Q for 'granite' these don't show up.
