Granite Natural Stone: Unparalleled Hardness
A durable choice for worktops, paving, monuments, and all interior and exterior projects
Granite reconciles the unique beauty of nature with its indomitable power. It is a natural stone, meaning geological processes have determined its character for centuries. The result is a product that is never 100% the same. The colour palette, the patterns, … each slab is different, surprising, and authentic.
With over a century of experience and counting, we are true granite experts. Our specialists select the granite from both our own quarries (in France, Norway, Portugal, and South Africa) and other quarries worldwide. In addition, our geological team subjects all materials to a strict quality control. We combine this quality guarantee with a very thorough knowledge of all the technical properties, applications and finishing possibilities of this material.
The fact that this ancient material is also offered in various sizes, standard thicknesses of 2 or 3 cm (and up to 20 cm on request) and a broad range of possible surface finishes ensures a personal touch.
Applications
Kitchen Worktop in Granite Zimbabwe Black
Black Granite, a Kitchen Classic
Black granite has long been a favourite in modern and timeless kitchen designs. Its deep, rich tone adds a sense of sophistication and contrast, pairing well with both light and dark cabinetry. Beyond its elegant appearance, black granite shares the same strong characteristics as other types: it is resistant to heat, scratches, and stains, making it perfect for intensive kitchen use. Whether polished to a high gloss or given a more matte finish, black granite remains a stylish and practical surface that continues to stand the test of time. When it comes to price versus performance, granite truly has no equal among natural stones—offering unmatched durability and elegance at a remarkably competitive price.

Granite for Worktops, more than Black
The exceptional properties of granite are the result of a natural process that took place deep beneath the Earth's surface—where the stone slowly cooled and solidified under immense pressure over millions of years. The result today is a natural stone that resists acids, heat, and everyday wear, making it an ideal, low-maintenance choice for kitchen countertops. Granite offers much more than just classic black tones. In interior design—especially in kitchens—it creates a unique visual impact through its natural play of lines, shades, and textures. Sometimes speckled, sometimes uniform, but always distinctive, each slab is shaped by nature and tells its own story. This natural unpredictability adds character and depth to any space. Whether you prefer a subtle, understated look or a bold statement piece, granite offers a wide range of colours and finishes to suit every interior style.

A Selection of our Finishes
The finishes shown here are a selection of the surface finishes Brachot offers as standard. We are also constantly developing new finishes and optimising existing ones, which means we always find the finish that best suits the material, your tastes, and the style of your home.
Polished
Without a doubt, the glossiest and smoothest finish, highlighting the colours, patterns, and white spots. Dark shades create a mirror effect.
Honed
The surface is scoured until a warm, matt shine is obtained. The grain size during scouring determines the final result.
Letano
This original, matt, and slightly brushed finish enhances the natural colour of granite. The result is a ‘leather feel’.
Opting for Durable Quality
Granite is the hardest of all types of natural stone. As a result, this natural material is highly scratch, heat, acid, and stain-resistant, making it ideal to withstand decades of intensive use. Granite is also very maintenance-friendly. With the right cleaning and protection products, adapted to the use, soiling, and surface coarseness, this natural stone will remain intact for many years.
On top of that, the durability of granite is more than just a very long lifespan. Granite is also an environmentally friendly product that is only shaped by the power of nature. So it doesn’t need any energy for its production. CO₂ emissions during installation and production are also low. And because it is 100% recyclable, granite can be reused for a wide variety of applications.
