Granite Countertops
Welcome to Solid Stone Countertops,
Winnipeg’s Source for Granite Countertops!
Natural strength and unique beauty.
When we think about granite, we can’t deny the characteristics that make it a standout countertop surface for your home. Cut into slabs directly from granite quarries and honed and polished into a smooth surface, every single piece of granite tells the story of how and where it was formed. The vast array of colours and patterns one can find in this natural stone echo the diversity of the world around us, each area offering their own unique characteristics.
Granite is the most durable stone surface you can find. Extremely tolerant to heat, impact resistant, and easy to clean or sanitize, Granite is an ideal countertop material for the busiest and most-used areas of your home. From bathroom vanities to kitchen countertops, outdoor kitchens and tabletops, granite outperforms in every situation. Properly-cared-for granite will last for decades.
If you love granite as much as we do, and want to bring some into your home, we’re here to help!

Benefits and Drawbacks of Granite Countertops:
Selection: Granite is a natural stone that is cut from quarries, so while there is a large selection of different granite colours and patterns available, it’s not as vast as manufactured stone like quartz. Colours and patterns are limited to what can actually be found in nature.
Every piece is different… but every piece is different: The unique natural characteristics of granite mean that each piece has it’s own pattern, and no two pieces are alike. This can be a benefit and a drawback. If you’re hoping for flawless consistency and identical patterns/veining, you’re not going to find it in granite, but that also means you’re not going to find it at your neighbour’s house either.
Durability: Durability is granite’s biggest strengths. Extreme heat and cold tolerance makes it a great choice for kitchens (indoors or out, even in very cold climates) and it’s more likely to damage your dishes and cookware than be damaged by normal use. (Don’t drop glassware on stone in general. It takes no prisoners). We tested our stone… check out our results here
Maintenance: Granite countertops are virtually maintenance-free. Our granite comes pre-sealed and other than keeping them clean, you won’t need to do anything special to maintain them for at least 10 years. After that, a yearly application of sealer is a good idea to keep them looking their best indefinitely. Sealer is quick and easy to apply for anyone.
