Frequently Asked Questions
What is G603 Granite?
G603 Granite is a fine-grained natural igneous stone quarried in Shandong Province, China, characterised by light grey base colour with consistent white and dark mineral speckle pattern. The "G603" code is the Chinese national classification for this specific granite variety from the Wulian quarry region.
Where does G603 Granite come from?
G603 Granite is quarried primarily in Wulian County, Shandong Province, China. This region produces the most consistent light grey granite in large volumes, making G603 the most widely exported Chinese granite variety for global commercial and infrastructure projects.
What finishes are available?
All eleven standard granite finishes are available: Polished, Honed, Flamed, Bush-hammered, Leathered, Brushed, Sandblasted, Natural Split, Tumbled, Sawn, and Antique. Polished is most common for countertops; Flamed is preferred for outdoor paving due to its non-slip texture.
Is G603 Granite suitable for outdoor use?
Yes - G603 Granite is one of the most suitable natural stones for outdoor applications including paving, cladding, and civic infrastructure. As an igneous granite with low water absorption, it withstands freeze-thaw cycles, UV exposure, and heavy foot traffic better than most marble varieties.
How does G603 Granite compare to G654 Granite?
G603 is a light grey granite with fine speckle pattern, while G654 (also called Padang Dark) is a darker grey granite with larger mineral grain. G603 is preferred for projects requiring brighter, more uniform grey appearance; G654 is selected for darker accent applications.
What are the best applications?
G603 Granite excels in commercial kitchen countertops, outdoor paving, public plaza cladding, civic building facades, and large-scale infrastructure projects. The combination of consistent colour, durability, and competitive pricing makes it a top choice for high-volume commercial construction.
How do I maintain G603 Granite?
G603 Granite requires minimal maintenance compared to marble - sealing is optional but recommended for kitchen countertops. Daily cleaning with pH-neutral stone cleaner is sufficient. Polished surfaces may need repolishing every 5-10 years in high-traffic commercial areas.
Can G603 Granite be used in kitchens?
Yes - G603 Granite is one of the most popular choices for residential and commercial kitchen countertops due to its durability, consistent appearance, and competitive pricing. The light grey colour hides minor stains and pairs well with both light and dark cabinetry. Sealing is recommended for kitchen applications.
