Granite countertops Spokane has been a popular construction material since 2,000 BC when it was used in ancient Egypt to build and decorate many of the earliest pyramids. Since then granite has been in demand for palaces and upscale homes, and more recently granite has been used to decorate skyscrapers like the cladding on the Willis Tower in Chicago and for the entrance lobby floor of the Empire State Building in New York. So, if you put a granite countertop in your property, fear not. You are following an established tradition that goes back nearly five thousand years.

Slim and beautiful in Spokane – the trend for slimline granite countertops spokane
As the leading granite countertop supplier in Spokane, we notice that more of our residential and commercial customers are in line with a global trend, and asking us to install thinner granite surfaces.
Thickness Range
For decades, the traditional thickness for granite countertops has been on the opulent side, 2 to 3cm (0.75 to 1.25 inches). But in recent years the trend has been heading towards slimmer granite countertops in Spokane, whose residents want a more elegant look, with thicknesses going down to a chic and ultra-thin 1cm (0.4inches).
Thinner & Stronger
The thinnest granite countertops in our Spokane showroom are 1cm (0.4inch). These are backed with a tough layer of carbon-fiber composite which gives them a flex strength that is the same as a 3cm-thick granite slab, while being only a third of the weight.
Sleek, Trendy Looks
Traditional granite countertops spokane found in traditional homes, restaurants, club-houses and hotels tend to feature larger thicknesses of granite. By contrast, thinner designs give a sleek, minimalist look. The result is a décor which has a sophisticated, urban appeal. This works for modern homes as well as trendy bars and nightclubs, plus Spokane’s cooler coffee shops, restaurants and hotels.
More Space
Thinner granite countertops create the impression of more space. This works well for our customers with smaller kitchens, apartments and public premises in Spokane, where granite countertops spokane on the thinner side are a good look.
Lower Cost
The cost of a thinner granite countertop is lower because there is less material. Also, because less material is more lightweight, the transportation and handling costs to our granite countertop customers in and around Spokane are lower too. This price benefit of course plays well with customers with smaller properties.
More Versatile
Thinner sheets of granite enable you to do more with the material, like creating boxed-in features to cover a multitude of irregularities in the building structure. You can also be more ambitious when cladding vertical spaces like countertop splashbacks. Even whole walls right up to the ceiling can be cladded with ultra-thin granite, because it is cheaper and lighter plus being easier to move around and install.
Thick-Thin Combos
We have created some interesting visual effects when installing granite countertops in the Spokane area by combining ultra-thin and extra-thick slabs. For example, a 1cm-thick granite countertop, combined with a smaller but thicker 12cm-thick granite slice as an upper ‘island’ countertop makes a striking kitchen centerpiece.
Floating countertops
Hand in hand with slim granite countertops spokane, some of our Spokane clients for granite countertops are asking for ‘floating’ designs. These can be suspended or mounted on brackets, which gives a floating visual effect. People can sit around these more easily as they allow more leg space underneath instead of having fitted cupboards that are flush with the edge of the granite countertop.
Geographic Areas We Cover
Based in Spokane, our granite countertop installers cover a fifty-mile radius, including Deer Park and Spokane Valley. If you are in Indiana, we also cover these locations: Coeur D’ Alene, Hayden, Post Falls, Rathdrum and Sandpoint, where we have installed many granite countertops spokane for residential and commercial premises.
