Granite Scraps – Get Free Granite

Love the look and durability of granite, but don’t think you can afford it? You’re lucky!

Fortunately, measuring and cutting granite countertops to install in kitchens and bathrooms is not an exact science. In all installation work there are pieces of granite left over. Many of these granite pieces are small and end up in the trash. On the other hand, some granite slabs have huge remains. Many of these leftover granite pieces are large enough to create beautiful countertops for a small to medium-sized kitchen.

The granite shop or stone yard has already sold this granite once. They already charged someone for the slab and made their money off the granite. That means they can sell it to you at a substantial discount. If you shop around, you’ll find savings of 10% to 70% of the total price of granite. They might even give you some smaller leftovers that are big enough for a bath for free.

There’s only one downside, but unless you’re incredibly picky, you won’t find it to be a problem.

The drawback is that you have to choose between the granite that the stone patio has on hand. You will need to be flexible in what you are willing to install in your kitchen or bathroom. You can also be patient. The inventory of leftover pieces of stone patios can change from day to day if it is a busy workshop. Check back often and you can definitely find something that will look beautiful in your home.

Once you find a granite slab that is large enough and you enjoy it, you can finish it like any other granite slab. You can cut it and shape it as you need. You may choose to have a matching granite backsplash cut from the same piece. The stone patio can work granite like any other piece. It will polish the edges and seal it for you. No one will ever know that your granite was left over from another installation and that you bought it at a substantial discount.
