MATERIAL SELECTION

How do you choose the right granite colour and pattern?

Choose granite by considering the whole space, then confirm the current stone batch with slab photographs and a physical sample before approval.

Editorial guidance by TerraGlobals

Start with the whole space

Consider the surrounding materials before choosing a stone color. Cabinetry, flooring, metal finishes, and natural light all change the way a surface feels. Black, white, gold, red, and brown palettes are useful starting points, but they are only the beginning.

Can a photograph confirm the granite selection?

A screen can help you narrow a direction. It cannot confirm a stone batch. Ask for current slab photographs and compare the overall pattern as well as close-up details. Our collection uses reference photographs; request actual batch photographs before approving a selection.

Why review a physical sample?

Review a physical sample in the intended light and alongside your other materials. Discuss variation across the order, particularly when surfaces meet or continue across a large space.

What should the approval record include?

Record the selected material, finish, dimensions, quantity, and any agreed approval steps. Share the intended application so suitability can be reviewed before the order is confirmed.
