    At that price they won't be calibrated, which with tiles of this nature is incredibly important.

    Also absolute Black granite will show every mark, hair, footprint....everything.

    Not a great choice for anything that will be walked on.

    Can I but in and ask if the galaxy black granite shows marks as much? I fancied that for our main bathroom, but with three messy children who use it, I'm not so sure now!
    Here I go again on my own....

    Galaxy has more of grain and a fleck so it disguises marks a little better.

    But it's still a polished black granite, so will require regular cleaning to keep it looking nice and shiny.

    The heavier a grain in the stone the less it shows marks, also the lighter colours show less as they tend to be grained and light.

    thanks for allthe replies, i didnt get a chance to check if they are calibrated.

    this is the website...http://www.tilesgranite.co.uk/absolute-black-granite-tiles.html


    missus has said she will clean them but i'm sure shes going to get fed up doing that every minute, we have three young children aswell. perhaps a white or cream to match the corian worktops might be better...
