Granite is typically categorized into different levels based on quality, rarity, and price. The three main levels are:

Level 1 – Entry-Level (Commercial Grade)

• Quality: Basic, more common types of granite.

• Appearance: Simple patterns, standard colors (black, white, beige).

• Thickness: Usually 3/8 inch or 3/4 inch.

• Durability: Durable but may have more imperfections.

• Best for: Budget-friendly projects, apartments, prefabricated countertops.

Level 2 – Mid-Grade (Premium Quality)

• Quality: Better quality than Level 1, with unique color variations.

• Appearance: More distinct patterns, richer hues, and fewer imperfections.

• Thickness: Usually 3/4 inch or thicker.

• Durability: Higher density, more resistant to wear and tear.

• Best for: Homes, kitchen and bathroom remodels, mid-range projects.

Level 3+ – High-Grade (Exotic or Luxury Granite)

• Quality: The highest quality, rarest granite types.

• Appearance: Unique veining, bold colors, and rare minerals like quartz or                     feldspar.

• Thickness: 1 1/4 inch or more.

• Durability: Extremely strong, highly resistant to scratches and heat.

• Best for: Luxury kitchens, designer homes, and high-end applications.

Higher levels of granite tend to be sourced from rare quarries, making them more expensive. Would you like help selecting the right level for a specific project?
