    Difference Grades
Click For Summary
Granite is graded based on flatness tolerance, with grades ranging from 0 to 1. The discussion seeks to clarify whether there are additional differences in material properties among these grades beyond flatness. The original poster expresses a lack of familiarity with granite and difficulty finding relevant information. Participants are encouraged to provide insights or resources to address these questions. Understanding the distinctions in granite grades is essential for informed selection in applications.

Hi guys, There are different grades of Granite (grade 0, 00 and 1). From what I have researched online, the grades are defined by the flatness tolerance. I would like to know besides of flatness, is there any differences in its material properties in different grades?

I'm not familiar with the material, and I can't find any related information to solve my doubts.

I would really appreciate it if anyone could help to clear my doubt.

Thank you in advance!
