Granite slabs, as used in high-end countertops, usually come in rectangular pieces. For that reason, most granite countertops have seams where the pieces of granite join to form whatever shape you desire. Even simple rectangular countertops often require two or more pieces of granite due to size and transportation limitations. Since granite countertops are expensive, you want to take care when making seams in order to make them as unnoticeable as possible. Finding the right color grout and mixing it well are just as important as a smooth final seam. The following steps will enable you to seam granite in a way that is durable and nearly unnoticeable.
