Granite vs quartz and other kitchen materials
Granite is a natural stone, while quartz is engineered for a more uniform look. If you want natural movement and one-of-a-kind patterning, granite is the stronger visual choice.
Quartz is often chosen for worktops and sometimes floors, while porcelain offers easier upkeep and ceramic suits lighter-duty areas. For a simple wall finish alongside granite floors, use a kitchen wall tiles option with a plain, low-key look.

Finish, slip resistance and where to use granite
Most granite kitchen tiles are polished for a glossy, high-end look. Honed or textured finishes may also be available when you want a little more grip underfoot.
Polished granite works best on feature walls, splashbacks and lighter-traffic floors. For busy kitchen floors, a more textured finish is often the safer choice. Granite can also replace or sit alongside Splashback Kitchen Tiles for a more coordinated look.

- Island plinths

Granite kitchen tiles FAQs
Do granite tiles need sealing?
Yes, most granite should be sealed to help reduce staining. Reseal when water stops beading on the surface.

Can granite be used with underfloor heating?
Yes, granite is suitable with underfloor heating when fitted correctly. Use the right adhesive and follow the setting-out guidance.
How does granite compare with quartz or porcelain?
Granite is natural and varied, quartz is more uniform, and porcelain is easier to maintain. Each works well in different kitchen settings.
How should granite tiles be cleaned?
Use warm water and a pH-neutral cleaner. Avoid bleach, vinegar and abrasive pads.
