Granite in Kenya | Premium Countertops, Flooring & Design Inspiration

Granite in Kenya has become a defining element of elegance, strength, and timeless beauty in both residential and commercial architecture. From luxurious kitchen countertops to polished floors and bespoke wall cladding, granite is the preferred choice for clients who value natural durability and sophisticated design.

At Maruti Mining Limited, we are proud to be Kenya’s leading manufacturer, supplier, and installer of premium granite stone. With decades of expertise, a rich collection of natural stones, and precision fabrication facilities, we help architects, interior designers, and homeowners bring their design visions to life — one stone at a time.


1. Understanding Granite: Nature’s Masterpiece

Granite is an igneous rock formed deep within the earth’s crust through the slow crystallization of molten magma. It consists mainly of quartz, feldspar, and mica — giving it unmatched hardness, luster, and resistance to wear.

Its natural grain patterns and color variations make every slab unique, a feature that appeals to designers seeking authenticity and character in every project.

At Maruti Mining, our extensive collection of granite is carefully sourced and expertly processed to meet the highest global standards.


2. Design Inspirations: Transforming Spaces with Granite

Kitchen Countertops

Granite countertops are both functional and beautiful. They withstand heat, resist scratches, and add a luxurious feel to modern and traditional kitchens alike. From deep black and grey tones to exotic gold and white, every slab tells its own story.

Bathroom Vanities

In bathrooms, granite brings sophistication and durability, resisting water and stains. Its polished finish enhances the brightness of small spaces and complements modern fixtures seamlessly.

Flooring & Stairs

For high-traffic areas, granite flooring offers unmatched longevity. Its natural gloss and hardness make it ideal for corporate lobbies, hotels, and luxury homes.

Outdoor Applications

Granite’s resistance to weathering makes it suitable for exterior cladding, garden walkways, and pool surrounds — maintaining color and texture even under harsh sun or rain.
