Comment:
When requesting please do advise approximate quantities required and expected supply dates.
For extremely large contracts you can select the actual sheet/boulder preferred.
Not all granites are "true" granites however for commercial purposes in the U.S.A they are grouped together but within the European Union for project specification the material should have its petrographical designation.
