We have Verde Ubatuba granite countertops in our kitchen. We would like to replace the wood flooring in this room with a stone tile. Does anyone have the same color countertops that can recommend a stone floor product that blends well? Due to the fact that the countertop is so dark we do not want to use it on the floor.

I do not like the appearance of the drop in sink with the granite countertops but is it too late to replace the sink with an undermounted one? Will I have to get all new countertops, which would be quite expensive?

I have seen ads for granite ‘caps’ that fit over the existing countertops. It gives the look of 3 or 4 cm granite countertops without the high price. What is this process called and are there web links to companies who price / do this? Are there suppliers / installers in the DFW, TX area?

We are updating our kitchen, removing the old tile and countertops and replacing the sink too. The current model is a drop in ceramic.
We are reinstalling new granite countertops with new plywood support underneath.
The new sink is stainless steel undermount. I know the granite people can cut out the plywood and rest the flange thru the cutout, but that means the granite is not level. the other way is to use some brackets or braces under the sink, how is that done??
