New Black China Granite Worktop 2400x630x18mm Polished

New Black China Granite Worktop

The New Black China Granite slab provides a dense, hard-wearing surface for residential and commercial kitchen installations. This natural stone material features a consistent dark pigment with minimal veining. The 18mm thickness balances structural integrity with a manageable weight for site handling and installation on standard cabinetry.

Built for the Job

Site supervisors and kitchen fitters select this specific granite grade for its thermal stability and resistance to mechanical wear. The 630mm width allows for a 30mm overhang on standard 600mm deep base units, providing a professional finish without excessive waste. Fabricators can easily cut and polish this material to accommodate under-mount sinks, hobs, and tap holes using standard diamond tooling. This material is suitable for high-traffic areas where surface durability is a priority.

• Primary kitchen work surfaces in high-traffic residential or commercial builds.

• Commercial service counters requiring high chemical and heat resistance.

• Laboratory benching where low porosity and surface hardness are required.

Product Highlights

Surface Integrity

The polished face resists staining and prevents bacterial growth due to the low porosity of the natural igneous structure.

Thermal Resistance

Natural stone withstands high temperatures from cookware without cracking or discolouring under normal use.

Dimensional Stability

• Pre-cut 2400mm lengths reduce the number of visible joints.
• Consistent 18mm thickness ensures level transitions between slabs.

On-Site & Workshop Notes

• Always inspect the stone for hairline fractures before moving or cutting on site.

• Use mechanical lifting aids or a minimum of two workers for manual handling due to the 80kg+ weight.

• Apply a high-quality impregnating sealer post-installation to enhance protection against oils and acidic liquids.

• Ensure the sub-structure is level within 2mm across the span to prevent stress points on the worktop.

• Resizing must be performed with diamond-tipped wet saws to prevent chipping and dust inhalation.
