Natural stones extracted from mines and quarries, such as granite, have been a common building material today. The beauty and hardness of these stones make them an ideal material for the rehabilitation and construction of homes. However, granite can be quite expensive, with prices as high as $70 per square foot, not including installation. Not all homeowners can afford this enormous cost. Fortunately, there are pieces of granite that are 10 to 70 percent cheaper than their original price. These pieces are actually remnants and are called granite remnants.

Usually, natural granite is cut and diced into slabs. These slabs are commonly used to build kitchen countertops. They are cut into smaller pieces depending on the size of the kitchen. During this process, some pieces of granite become too small or do not fit as desired. Granite scraps are thrown away or sold by the contractor or manufacturer at a much lower price. If you can’t afford to buy granite slabs, these leftover pieces may be a good option.

These pieces underwent the same manufacturing process as the larger slabs. These pieces are most likely polished, shiny, and have a smooth surface. However, not all of these pieces are of good quality, so it is very important that you visit the stone patio and select the good ones.

You have to choose only the remains that match the accent of your home. This can be difficult because a shop’s leftover parts inventory can change from day to day, especially for a large shop. It’s also good to talk to the fabrication shop about the availability of granite parts before starting your project. You need to do this so they know ahead of time what kind of pieces you want them to keep. Although the surface of these pieces is polished, the edges may still be on the rough side. If that is the case, you should ask the manufacturer to polish the edges.

Asking for a discounted price for leftover parts can be easy. Fabrication shops usually want to get rid of these parts and are willing to offer them to you at a very low price. Although granite scraps are small pieces that cannot be used for larger projects, such as a regular size kitchen countertop, they are still viable for smaller projects. These pieces will be the perfect material for building tabletops, vanities, kitchen islands, fireplace surrounds, and many other smaller accessories.
