Christian.

Cost is proportional the the amount of polishing required, rather than
weight or flat area.
Edge polishing for island units or sink cutouts will hike the price. £4k (1)
is not untypical for an average kitchen.

(1) sorry should that be 4kgbp ?


There are also sealants for granite worktops that can be used after
installation.

Our worktops have been in place for two years and get heavy daily use
including all kinds of things being spilled including acidic and
staining liquids. They haven't marked and are very easy to maintain.
