Black granite worktops characteristics

Black granite worktops are chosen for their bold, uniform colour and their performance as a working surface. The dense black stone resists heat from pans, scratches from utensils, and the constant wear of a busy worktop, while a polished finish gives a mirror-like sheen that anchors a kitchen or bar design. Because the colour is consistent, long runs and islands look seamless, and the dark tone hides watermarks and minor wear better than lighter stones. Every worktop is cut to size for sinks, hobs, and overhangs so it fits the layout precisely.

Product Information

Properties and finishes of black granite worktops

Our black granite worktops are cut from dense igneous stone rated about 6 to 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, which is what lets a worktop take knives, hot cookware, and years of daily use without damage. The signature finish is a deep polish that maximises the black colour and is simple to wipe clean; a honed (matte) finish gives a softer, modern surface that masks fingerprints, while leathered finishes add subtle texture. Edges are profiled to order in straight, bevelled, bullnose, or ogee styles. Cut from genuine Egyptian granite, each worktop is sealed before dispatch and arrives ready to fit.

Polished black worktops give bars, hotels, and offices a sleek, luxurious counter that withstands heavy public use.

Product Specialist

Black granite worktops: frequently asked questions

Are black granite worktops hard to keep clean? No. A polished black worktop wipes clean easily, though it can show water spots and dust more than busy patterns. A honed finish hides marks better, and regular sealing keeps the surface stain-resistant in a working kitchen.

Can black granite worktops take hot pans? Yes. Granite is highly heat resistant, so hot pans and trays can sit on the worktop without scorching it. Trivets are still recommended to protect the polished sheen over many years of use.

What thickness are your black granite worktops? We supply worktops in 2 cm and 3 cm. The 3 cm option gives a more substantial edge and stronger overhangs for islands and bars, while 2 cm suits a slimmer profile or lighter installation.
