Granite Table Tops

All granite table tops are cut to size in the workshop in Maasbree, Netherlands. Choose from four granite varieties, each with its own colour and finish. Every slab is 30 mm thick and has its own crystal pattern that differs per piece.

Four granite varieties, each with its own character

The range consists of four granite varieties that differ in colour, texture and finish. The choice is mainly aesthetic: all four have comparable technical properties. Below is an overview.

Steel Grey and Coffee Brown: leather finish

Steel Grey Leather is a dark grey granite with a cool undertone. The leather finish gives the surface a subtle texture that makes fingerprints and water marks less visible. Steel Grey pairs well with a modern or industrial interior, especially in combination with a black or anthracite steel base.

Coffee Brown Leather has a warm, brown tint with light and dark nuances throughout the granite. The leather finish gives the slab a soft, tactile surface. Coffee Brown combines well with warm wood accents in the interior and suits both a rustic and a modern style.

Tan Brown and Nero Assoluto: polished and honed

Tan Brown Polished stands out through the contrast of brown and black tones. The polishing makes the colour differences and crystal structure clearly visible. The smooth surface reflects light, giving the slab a classic, rich appearance. Note that on a polished surface, stains and fingerprints are more visible.

Nero Assoluto Honed is a deep black granite with a matte, honed finish. The surface feels soft, comparable to sanded stone. Due to the dark colour and matte finish, Nero Assoluto is suited for minimalist interiors where a sleek, dark accent is desired.

Leather, polished or honed: which finish suits you?

The finish determines how the slab feels and looks. Leather has a lightly textured surface that makes fingerprints and water marks less visible. This is the most practical finish for dining tables in daily use.

Polished granite is smooth and glossy. The surface reflects light, making the colour nuances of the granite clearly visible. The downside: stains and fingerprints are more noticeable. Honed granite feels matte and soft. Like leather, a honed finish shows stains less readily than polished.

For a granite dining table, leather or honed is most practical. Polished granite works better on a sideboard or side table where less food and drink is spilled.

Granite table top: technical properties

All granite slabs are 30 mm thick and available up to a maximum size of 2,400 x 1,000 mm. Each slab is delivered sealed as standard. The sealant fills the pores of the granite and prevents liquids from penetrating the surface.

• Scratch resistance: fair. Knives and crockery do not leave visible scratches during normal use
• Heat resistance: no. Never place a hot pan or casserole dish directly on granite. The large temperature difference can cause thermal shock, which may crack the slab. Always use trivets for hot items
• Frost-proof: yes. Granite absorbs minimal moisture and withstands freeze-thaw cycles. The slab can spend the winter outdoors without problems
• UV-resistant: yes. The colour does not fade with prolonged sun exposure, even after years
• Maintenance: clean with a damp cloth and Lithofin Easy Clean. Reapply the sealant periodically

Granite table top for outdoor use

Granite is one of the best materials for an outdoor table. It is frost-proof, UV-resistant and does not fade. Where wood is only suitable for indoor use, a granite slab can stand outside year-round without a cover.

Combine the granite slab with an outdoor-suitable base. Stainless steel bases are naturally corrosion-resistant. Steel bases with outdoor primer are equally suitable. The choice between steel and stainless steel is purely aesthetic.

In the 3D configurator, select "outdoor" under Application. Steel bases then automatically receive an extra primer powder coating that protects against rain, frost and UV.

Granite vs ceramic

Ceramic is harder, heat-resistant and fully maintenance-free. You never need to seal ceramic. Granite requires periodic sealing and is not heat-resistant. On the other hand, granite has a natural crystal structure that differs per slab. Ceramic is industrially produced and therefore uniform.

Choosing a base for a granite slab

All bases are compatible with a granite slab. Steel bases are available in 19 models and 10 RAL colours. Stainless steel bases have a brushed finish and are available in 9 models. In the 3D configurator you see immediately which bases suit your chosen dimensions.

Sealing and daily maintenance

Every granite slab is delivered sealed. The sealant is an invisible protective layer that prevents liquids from penetrating the pores. Spilled red wine, coffee or sauce can be simply wiped away with a cloth as long as the sealant is intact.

Over time, the sealant wears. With daily use as a dining table, it is advisable to renew the sealant annually. Application is straightforward: apply the sealant, let it absorb, remove excess. Clean daily with Lithofin Easy Clean. More information on the care page.

How does ordering work?

Configure your granite table top in the 3D configurator. Choose the granite variety, shape (rectangle, oval, Danish oval, round, rectangle radius or Racetrack), enter the exact dimensions and select the base. You see the result in 3D immediately and the price adjusts with every change.

After ordering, the slab is cut, sealed and finished together with the base in the workshop in Maasbree. Lead time: 1 to 4 weeks. Delivery is available throughout the Netherlands, Belgium and North Rhine-Westphalia. View the delivery page for shipping options.
