Thank you for using Just Answer!

There is a procedure for installing granite tiles over an existing laminate countertop. The granite pieces are slightly bigger than 12X12 and the edge pieces come intact with a bullnose attached. There will be some thin grout lines that are slightly visible so it is not like having a continuous granite slab on your countertops.

This is a good way to renovate your kitchen though without the additional cost of ripping out the existing tops.

I have attached a link to a website that outlines this process in detail for you to review.
