Granite tiles are a classic and popular flooring choice because of its overall resiliency, strength, and number of unique color options. Granite tiles are attractive, durable, and versatile. They come in many colors and styles. They are resistant to stains and moisture so can be used in a variety of spaces. Apart from being practical, granite tile adds a sense of opulence to kitchens, bathrooms, and even commercial areas. They feature unique patterns, so every granite tile is different.
Granite Tile Cost
Out of all three options for granite: slabs, modular, and tile, tile is the least expensive. While slabs of granite can run anywhere from $40 – $60 per square foot, tile is generally $5 – $15. Not only does the tile itself cost less, but the installation for tile granite is also cheaper than slabs.
This is most likely due to the fact that installing slabs of granite takes a lot more work and time. The installation of granite slab costs anywhere from $80 – $150 per square foot. Tile granite, on the other hand, costs as little as $50 per square foot and $75 at most.
