Definition
Granite tile or slab — cut and polished from granite stone, used for floors, countertops, and wall cladding in high-end Indonesian interiors. Granit is harder and more expensive than marmer (marble), with a speckled appearance from visible mineral crystals. It is prized for its durability and natural beauty, particularly in prestige residential and commercial applications.
Example
A Jakarta executive apartment lobby floor is finished in large 60×60 cm granit tiles in black or grey polished granite — the hard, durable surface ideal for high-traffic areas and the polished finish reflecting light to enlarge the space.
