The Timeless Power of Natural Granite
Unmatched Durability and One-of-a-Kind Beauty Mined from the Earth.
Granite is more than just a building material; it is a piece of art created by nature over millions of years. At Galaxy Granite, we specialize in sourcing the finest granite from quarries around the world—from the deep quarries of Brazil to the mountains of Italy and India.
As an igneous rock formed by cooling lava, granite is one of the hardest natural substances on Earth. For Calgary homeowners, this means investing in a surface that is not only visually stunning but capable of withstanding the rigors of a busy household for decades.
The Benefits of Natural Stone
While engineered trends come and go, granite remains the gold standard for luxury and performance.
Unmatched Heat Resistance
Granite is born in fire. You can take a hot pan directly off the stove and place it on your granite countertop without fear of melting or scorching the surface. This makes it the superior choice for avid home chefs.
Every Piece is Unique
Unlike quartz, which is manufactured to look uniform, no two slabs of granite are identical. The veining, mineral flecks, and color variations are entirely natural. When you choose a slab from our Calgary showroom, you are choosing a specific painting of nature that no one else will have.
Extreme Durability
Granite is incredibly resistant to scratches and chips. It is durable enough to be used outdoors for BBQ islands and patio tables because it is UV stable and will not fade under the Alberta sun.
Adds Value to Your Home
Real stone adds tangible value to your property. Real estate agents and buyers often view granite countertops as a premium upgrade that signals a high-quality home.
A Masterpiece in Every Slab
From Subtle to Exotic
Our inventory changes regularly, but we stock a wide range of styles to suit any design aesthetic.
Black Galaxy
Our namesake! A deep, rich black granite with coppery-gold flecks that sparkle like stars in the night sky.
White Ice & Alaska White
Stunning white and grey backgrounds with dramatic dark veining, perfect for modern farmhouse kitchens.
Earth Tones
Warm beiges, golds, and browns (like Santa Cecilia or Venetian Gold) that create a cozy, traditional atmosphere.
Exotics
Rare stones with wild colors—blues, greens, and complex swirls—that act as the "wow" factor for kitchen islands.
Living with Granite is Easy
Sealing
We apply a professional-grade industrial sealer upon installation. This protects the porous stone from absorbing liquids. We recommend re-sealing once a year—a simple process that takes 10 minutes with a spray-on sealer.
Cleaning
Warm water and mild dish soap are all you need. Avoid harsh acids (like vinegar or lemon juice) and abrasive scrubbing pads.
Repair
In the unlikely event of a chip, granite is easily repairable by a professional, often leaving the repair virtually invisible.
Select Your Slab in Person
You can't choose granite from a tiny sample chip. Visit our warehouse to walk through the aisles of full slabs and find the one that speaks to you.
