Granite Solutions™ from Benissimo™ is a quality granite system that was
designed to provide innovative surface solutions to the building industry. This
system provides the slab granite look and feel for the portion of the market unable
to afford slab granite. The installed price runs about 50% to 60% below the cost of
full slab. In addition, Granite Solutions™ allows for versatile uses such as:
standard countertops, island counters, raised counters, fireplace openings,
hearths and mantels, custom tubs, shower surrounds, and stairs.
Granite Solutions™ is premium A-grade solid granite tile system with a 1½" full
radius polished bullnose edge. The dimensions of the components allow for
standard tile installation with few cuts for standard countertop that is 24" deep.
Also, the edges are eased to provide a net fit, for minimal and tight seams. The
components making up this system are:
13½ x 13½ Outside Corner (OC)
13½ x 12 Bullnose (BN)
13½ x 12 Inside Corner Left (ICL)
13½ x 12 Inside Corner Right (ICR)
12 x 12 Field Tile
Refer to the drawing below to see how the components fit together on a typical countertop.
There are several designer colors to choose from. A complete line
of mosaics, trims and accessories are also available. Each piece
is made from quality granite that is imported from all over the
world. Each job is packed using custom designed materials to
reduce damage in transit and the individual jobs are inspected by
a person before leaving the factory to ensure the best color
matching possible from a natural stone. In addition, customers are
able to order just what is needed, eliminating waste and
unnecessary cost. Installation instructions are included with each
job shipment.
Benissimo™ recommends using a quickset modified thinset,
unsanded grout and a penetrating stone sealer (must be sealed
every year to keep the polished look).
