Customers are familiar with the colour of this white granite, and its durability and anti-slip qualities make it a great choice for high-traffic areas. In this project, we used polished white granite with anti-slip grooves on the stairs. The polished grooves enhance safety and add a refined surface. In addition, the wall granite has a splicing design at the joints between the plates. In this project case, there is no dense splicing process but a straight-edge groove with light in the groove, which can enhance the overall design and three-dimensionality of the wall.
