Viara Granite

Minneapolis, Minnesota

Viara Granite, also spelled Vyara, is a natural stone quarried in India.

This beautiful yellow brown granite varies quite a bit from stone to stone. There can be a lot of variation in the same slab so make sure to view this one before your fabricator starts cutting!!!

This massive granite island has a full bullnose edge along the entire perimeter of the stone including both the island and the countertop.

What's a full bullnose edge? It's a smooth rounded edge - a half circle. Both the top and the bottom edge of the countertop is rounded. With a half bullnose, only the top edge of the countertop is rounded - the bottom edge is straight.

There's a 12 inch overhang on the island which leaves plenty of room to slide a bar stool underneath and out of the way.

Something to think about - if you plan to use your island or bar for an eating area, make sure your stone is wide enough to comfortably hold a dinner plate. This should be a minimum of 14 inches unless your plates are smaller.

What about this stone... do you think it should be sealed? Yep - again it's a lighter colored natural stone and should be sealed to help prevent staining. You'll most likely apply a couple of applications of sealer to this granite.
