Want 120x60 Granite Without the Weight? Get to Know the 7.9 mm Thick Innovation!

In the world of interior design, every detail plays a crucial role in determining the quality and final appearance of a room. One of these is the selection of granite material. Granite is known as a material that is strong, durable, and capable of presenting an elegant impression.

As material technology develops, granite thickness standards have also evolved. If thick granite was once synonymous with strength, now an innovative 7.9 mm thick granite is available, offering a unique solution. Understanding the advantages of this new standard is an important step to ensure the installation results are not only beautiful to look at but also functional and efficient.

The 120x60 Large-Format Trend: A Spacious and Seamless Look

One of the most popular granite sizes in modern design is 120x60 cm. The main reason is its ability to create a seamless look, or one with minimal grout lines. The use of minimal grout makes rooms, both floors and walls, feel much more spacious, clean, and radiate an excellent elegant impression.

Traditionally, large-format granite slabs are identical to significant weight. This often becomes an obstacle, as it requires extra-careful handling, a stronger building structure (especially for walls or upper floors), and a more complicated and expensive installation process.

The 7.9 mm Granite Innovation: The Answer for 120x60 Granite

This is where the 7.9 mm granite innovation acts as a game-changer. With this optimized thickness, 120x60 granite now comes with a much lighter weight.

This is a smart solution that allows the elegant, seamless look of 120x60 granite to be applied in more areas. Now, you can install seamless granite in areas that were previously difficult, including on walls as a vertically applied feature wall, or on the floors of multi-story buildings, without excessively burdening the structure. It's no longer about "thicker is better," but rather "the right thickness for the right function."

Key Advantages of 7.9 mm Thick Granite

Here are the reasons why 7.9 mm thick granite is increasingly in demand.

1. Much Lighter Weight

This is its biggest advantage. Being thinner, its weight is much lighter compared to 10 mm or 12 mm granite. This characteristic makes it easier to transport, lift, and arrange during installation, so the installation process can be faster and save on labor costs.

2. Ideal for Wall Cladding and Backsplashes

Its light weight significantly reduces the structural load on the wall. This makes it the most ideal and safe choice for vertical applications, such as main wall cladding, bathroom walls, or kitchen backsplashes. The appearance remains luxurious, but the installation is more practical.

3. Efficient for Renovations

Because it is thin and light, 7.9 mm granite can often be installed directly over existing ceramic or flooring (a tile-on-tile system) without needing to demolish the previous floor. This saves a significant amount of time, demolition costs, and reduces debris at the renovation project site.

4. The Right Choice for Light-to-Medium Traffic Floors

7.9 mm granite is very capable for use as flooring in residential areas with light-to-medium traffic. Areas like bedrooms, home offices, or even living rooms can use this granite to get an elegant seamless look without excess load on the building structure.

So, What About Kitchen Countertops?

For applications that demand extreme durability against hard impacts and concentrated heavy loads, such as kitchen countertops or kitchen islands, granite with a more massive thickness is generally still the primary choice to ensure long-term strength.

However, for other kitchen areas like walls or backsplashes, 7.9 mm granite is the perfect solution to create an elegant and seamless design continuity with your countertop area.

Choosing 7.9 mm granite is a smart decision for those who prioritize modern beauty, light weight, and installation efficiency. It is an innovative solution that is perfect for wall cladding, backsplashes, and floors in areas with medium traffic.
