Caraco Price Calculator
Use this calculator to find a rough price for your tops. For simplicity this guide is based on 30mm thick single edged tops, 650 mm deep. We can of course cut larger or smaller pieces with different edge detail. Note that non-stock colours are priced on application (POA), but by comparing them with others in the same price group you should be able to get a rough idea of the cost.

Know this
Granite is very slightly porous and so can stain. This is not noticeable on the darker colours but can show on the pale ones. Our tops are sealed with 'Multigranit anti-stain' which has proved to be the best in our tests. It is possible to scratch granite - though only with harder materials such as the latest ceramic bladed knives - so always use a chopping board. Ordinary knives will be ruined if you cut onto granite but the granite won’t suffer.
Granite is not flexible so floors and cabinets must be rigid and capable of supporting the weight.
Granite is a natural material and as such has a kind of 'natural perfection' that is not to be confused with the flawlessness of a man made substance. Some imperfections are therefore to be expected.. Some surface pitting and marks are normal; some granites are more prone to this than others.

A cautionary note!
We are sometimes asked to fit granite tops that have been
bought cheaply off the Internet. These are usually
0.62 m deep pieces, 3 metres long, usually from India or China, which are factory
polished on one edge only. All the other cutting and polishing has to be done
at extra cost in your home, which is very messy and does not compare in quality
to the factory finish which we provide. Larger pieces are simply not available.
All our tops are fully bespoke, cut from large slabs of A1 quality in the factory using the latest CNC machinery.
