Typhoon Bordeaux Granite

By STEVEN CHOQUET

Typhoon Bordeaux Granite

How Much Does Typhoon Bordeaux Granite Cost?

Nature’s gift – this is often the words used to describe the Typhoon Bordeaux Granite. Not because of anything else but because of its colors — beige, gold,  white, gray and burgundy — that is beautifully interspersed with each other in a water-like or wavy pattern. 

One amazing feature of this stone is that no two slabs of Typhoon granite are the same. So when you invest in Typhoon Bordeaux countertops,  you are putting your money into something unique.  

With regard to the price, Typhoon Bordeaux Granite countertops cost between $55-60 per square foot. Spare no expense when choosing your stone fabricator. Contrary to lower-priced granites that are fairly uniform, Typhoon Bordeaux has an intricate wavy pattern which makes matching seems best left for an expert. As the old saying goes “you get what you pay for” and with an install of this granite stay true these words of wisdom.

Why Choose Typhoon Bordeaux Granite?

Typhoon Bordeaux granite is a natural stone. Therefore,  it is durable and resistant and lasts a long time no matter how busy your kitchen might get. 

It is also low-maintenance — all you need to have is a sponge, warm water,  and liquid soap to clean it. After cleaning, it looks brand new once again. It saves you a lot of time, especially when you are busy.

What Colors Match Best with Typhoon Bordeaux Granite?

Pair this exotic stone with white cabinetry and the result is classic and simple. And if you are bold enough, you can further emphasize the beauty of the granite by painting your walls with dark red or burgundy. 

Typhoon Bordeaux granite is flexible and will complement any kitchen type, color, and theme. Although it goes well with almost anything, pairing it with cherry cabinets is absolutely amazing. The result is a warm and inviting kitchen reminiscent of the times when you were a kid at home. 

If you choose to go for wood kitchen cabinets, the combination produces a striking effect.  The gold shades in the stone become even more prominent beside wood such as maple, oak, walnut, or mahogany.

As you can see this breath-taking kitchen went all-in on Typhoon Bordeaux and definitely made a winning bet. Creamy white cabinets make a perfect pairing along with light natural oak flooring. What really makes this kitchen in my opinion though is the utilization of Typhoon Bordeaux slabs as a backsplash. Vaulted ceilings add an airy open feel, and glass panels in the upper cabinets add even more class to this grade-A kitchen design.


To be completely honest, I’m not a huge fan of cherry or reddish shades as a color choice for kitchen cabinets. However, the synergy between Typhoon Bordeaux and the aforementioned is undeniable. The burgundy deposits in this magnificent natural stone make for a wonderful pairing and it’s undeniable!

Silver Cloud Granite – Kitchen Countertop Material

By STEVEN CHOQUET

Silver Cloud Granite

How Much Does Silver Cloud Granite Cost Per Square Foot?

Silver Cloud Granite is also occasionally called Viscount White granite. This remarkable grey stone has characteristic waves of gray and white minerals that remind you of Van Gogh’s brush strokes. 

The mineral deposits present in this stone give the granite a gray appearance from afar.  However, a close and thorough inspection reveals an icy white bedrock. 

Aside from the gray minerals, the stone is also peppered with tiny quartz crystals and black mineral deposits. The crystals give the granite its stunning appearance as they glisten against the light. The black mineral deposits, on the other hand, are not visible to the naked eye. The overall effect it has on the stone is very noticeable — it adds more depth and contrast to the granite. 

The average Silver Cloud Granite countertops cost per square foot is between $40-60 per square foot installed. This stunning natural stone can typically be found in the level 2 granite category.

Why Choose Silver Cloud for Your Kitchen?

Silver Cloud Granite is a perfect choice for modern and contemporary kitchens. The black and white lines of Silver Clouds make it stand out from other granite such as Dallas White which is often used in trendier, more clean-white designs that can be found on the market today. It also pairs well with mid-century styles done in a minimalist but experienced way due to its black and white color palette that never goes out of style! We recommend using an edge profile like Eased or Beveled so you can take advantage of the smooth-edged look without sacrificing any durability when compared to sharper profiles like Bullnose Half Profile or Edge Profiles With 90 Degree Corners That You Might Find On A More Traditional Kitchen Island Design For Example.

Silver Cloud Granite is not just aesthetically pleasing but has a lot of advantages, which makes it popular among homeowners who understand granite. Just like all other types of granite, this stone is heat and acid-resistant. It is also low maintenance. Applying sealer two times a year will ensure that your granite will not be ruined by stains and no bacteria will thrive on it.
