Granite Flooring High Point What are the Different Types of Granite Flooring?

A lot of people are aware of what granite flooring is. Many people have a picture in their mind what the ideal granite flooring should look like, but the actuality of the matter is that granite comes in many different ways.

The difference in granite materials can range from the color of the materials, their grain, or the quality of the material itself.

When it comes to getting new granite flooring, High Point residents should consider looking into all of their available options, so they are sure that they will find the flooring tiles that they will enjoy the most. Here we will go over some of these differences that can appear in different granite flooring.

The Color Characteristics of Granite Flooring

Granite materials that are used to make flooring tiles are not all the same color. There are many different colors and shades that granite flooring can come in, and some will definitely appeal to some and their home, but not to others.

When it comes to granite flooring, the most common colors you will find in these types of tiles are going to be neutral colors. Most people are aware of black or white granite flooring, but other shades of browns and grays can also be quite common.

Keep in mind that the grain of granite flooring can be just as important to the look of a tile than the other colors, so it is important to also consider these aspects of granite tiles when trying to find the right flooring material for your home.

Different Types of Granite Tile Finishes

Once a homeowner has narrowed down what colors they would like their granite flooring tiles to be, another thing that homeowners should consider is what type of finish they would like to see on their granite flooring. High Point residents should know that there are fewer opinions to choose from for finishes than there are for granite flooring colors.

The most classic example of granite flooring tile finishes is a tile that has a smooth finish. As the name implies, these granite materials are smoothed out to have a level, glossy like appearance that is sleek and modern.

Another option to consider when looking into granite flooring is tiles that have a rough finish. These finishes are textured and are not smooth like those tiles that have a smooth finish. While this may not always be the way that homeowners use rough finish granite tiles, it is quite common to use these types of tiles as an outside material for your residence.
