In Big stores, there is a grade of granites i.e, A, B, C and D…and so on. When you go to the Big stores for granite the first thing you notice is that granite is priced with A, B…to F grades granites.
You find that the price goes higher and higher as the grade reaches F from A. You think that the F grade granite is the best quality because it is the most expensive and the A grade is the lowest quality because it has the cheaper price.
But it’s not like that, please remember and understand that these grades of granite are based on pricing only, and not based on the actual functionalities, quality, and valuable features of the granite varieties.
Grading is only done to sell the granite consistently across all their stores. And they found grading the granites with A, B, C, and so on as an improvement and as an easy way to sell the granites.
So, it is not important that higher grade granite is a good quality of granite and lower grade granite is not a good quality of granite because it is not expensive.
It is only based on the pricing of the granite. The grades of Granite are just a trap so stop falling into the trap of grades of granites (A, B, C..D). You may choose lower-grade granite colors that are less expensive and more durable.
