Portraying an image of professionalism while creating a great first impression are critical aspects every company must consider when remodeling their business premises. 

When it comes to office aesthetics, custom stone and granite countertops can significantly improve the look of your workspace. Granite has long been considered a top-notch material for kitchen and other outdoor remodeling projects. But have you ever considered granite's durability, utility, and beauty in your workspace? 

Well, this stone is increasingly becoming the go-to choice for business renovations, and for a reason. First, its color and appeal will “wow” any visitor who steps into your workplace.

Secondly, it’s an affordable and sustainable material for office countertops. In this post, we’ll look into why you should give your office a facelift with stone and granite countertops. 

What Makes Granite So Popular?

One of the top reasons for the growing popularity of granite is its amazing durability compared to other stones. Second only to diamond, granite is one of the toughest rocks on the planet. Plus, it contains traces of quartz and low permeability, which makes it hard to break.

For this reason, granite is widely used for flooring projects as its tiles and slabs don’t crack, even when exposed to heavy objects and harsh weather. Similarly, granite tiles installed in commercial spaces undergo a lot of wear and tear but don’t degrade or lose their luster. 

Why Renovate Your Office Spaces with Granite and Custom Stone

Granite is an excellent countertop material for corporate remodels. Here are the top reasons you should use granite and custom stones for your business renovation work.

1. Attractive Appeal

Granite is one of the most visually appealing materials for countertops. Have you ever noticed that granite countertops tend to glimmer and reflect light? Its ability to reflect light back and forth in the room gives a unique ambiance that can’t be duplicated.

Better still, you can choose from a wide variety of patterns and colors to make your granite countertops match your brand colors or preferred tones. 

2. Highly Durable

As mentioned, granite is one of the hardest rocks on the planet, second only to diamond. 

Its high durability makes it an ideal choice for corporate remodeling projects, particularly in areas that experience high traffic or pressure. Granite also makes very durable countertops. You won’t have to replace these durable stones any time soon after installation. 

3. Sustainable

Being conscious of the carbon footprint we leave is critical. 

Granite can last a lifetime, contains no harmful chemicals, and doesn’t emit any harmful gases during extraction and processing—making it highly sustainable. 

4. Affordable

Last but not least, granite is cheaper than any other material used for business renovation projects. So, how much does it cost?

While the price varies depending on many factors (the quality of the custom stone, the source of your slab, and the retailer you use), quick research on how much your new granite countertops will cost shows they are significantly cheaper than the competition. 



Typically, slabs cost anywhere from $30 per square foot to $200 to fabricate and install. Note that this figure includes the installation and fabrication costs as well. 

Wrapping Up

Granite is a popular naturally-occurring stone used for both residential and commercial projects—particularly for corporate remodels. When used in office spaces, granite’s attractive appeal can transform your workplace, giving your visitors a “wow” experience. 

Additionally, granite is highly durable, affordable, and sustainable—making it the perfect stone for any commercial project.
