The main difference between the two is price. Since prefabricated granite is mass-produced with no customization, its generally less expensive than a custom granite slab. If youre willing to have less customization options, youll be able to get a better deal with prefabricated granite.

Lets get this out of the way: most homeowners, homebuyers, or anyone short of being a countertop expert cannot tell the difference between prefabricated granite and granite slab once each is installed. If the countertop has bullnose edging, they may be able to guess that it is prefabricated, butotherwiseall bets are off. If anything, granite quality is determined by the cost and origin of the granitenot the manufacturing style. This is why its important to work with a reputable, local installer.
If the price of granite offered by a contractor is too good to be true, it probably is: some less-than-reputable contractors sell faux granite countertops, made from granite and resin. They try to undercut the price of both prefabricated and slab granite with this less durable, less beautiful product. Before you buy, always ask about the origin of the stone, and get multiple quotes so that you have a good idea what you should be expecting to pay for granite.

If you ask a fabricator for Bianco Romano, you may find 10 slab that are different, and people I know as well as me, want to select the exact slab they're purchasing as well as where certain areas of the slab will be laid on your countertop. A reputable fabricator will give you the cut sheet showing the exact cuts and how it's being placed on your countertop.
