At Montreal Slabs, we exclusively offer 100% natural granite – never engineered stones. Here's why natural granite remains the gold standard for discerning homeowners.
Natural granite is one of the most durable materials on Earth. With proper care, your granite countertops will outlast your home itself – a true lifetime investment that never goes out of style.
Every slab we offer comes with independent geological certification. You know exactly what you're getting – genuine natural granite formed over millions of years, not a factory-made imitation.
Natural granite is completely recyclable and emits zero VOCs. Unlike engineered products, it requires no resins or chemicals – just cutting and polishing. It's Mother Nature's original green building material.
Every natural granite slab is unique, with patterns created over millions of years. Your countertops will be exclusively yours – impossible to replicate and adding distinctive character to your home.
Natural granite countertops are a premium feature that buyers actively seek. They can increase your home's resale value by 5-10%, making them an investment that literally pays for itself.
Set hot pots directly on granite without worry. Natural granite's crystalline structure makes it virtually impossible to scratch with kitchen utensils and highly resistant to heat damage up to 1200°F.
According to the Natural Stone Institute, granite has become the premier choice for residential applications due to its unmatched combination of beauty, durability, and practicality.
Ranking 6-7 on the Mohs hardness scale, granite is one of the hardest natural materials available for countertops. This exceptional hardness means your granite surfaces will resist scratches, chips, and cracks better than any other natural stone.
See why natural granite outperforms marble, engineered quartz, and other alternatives in every category that matters.
